April 25, 1986 The Hoiiorable Mary Casler Mayor, City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Mayor Casler: As your representative on the San Diego County Regional Task Force on AIDS (appointed by the League of California Cities, San Diego County Division, at the monthly Mayors' luncheon meeting), I hereby file my first report for your review. While the first few meetings have been for the purpose of developing procedures, establishing rules, and creating standing subcommittees on education, membership, bathhouses, legislation, medical issues, and resources, we were assigned the additional task of identifying possible sources for the purpose of relocating the San Diego AIDS project. The San Diego AIDS project has been the sole agency functioning to serve and support the ancillary patient care needs and the community education needs of San Diego County in regard to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The funding for the San Diego AIDS project patient care has been completely community —based. As residents and leaders in San Diego County are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of AIDS in our community, it has become clear that the funding base of this project must be shifted to a local governmental level. As this funding shift has been developing through proper channels, the County sold the current site of the project to the San Diego Hospice and the San Diego AIDS project must vacate by May 31st. A new site has been located and in order to utilize this site, major improvements must be made and moving costs provided. Every possible avenue of funding this move I -as been considered, without success. It was suggested, and the Task Force supported the idea, that an appeal be sent out to the 15 smaller cities in San Diego County. I agreed a'd felt it appropriate that the request originate from my office. The request is for all small cities, on behalf of their citizens, to make a one—time emergency contribution to the San Diego AIDS project of $3,000. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, 8130 ALLISON AVENUE, P.O. BOX 937, LA MESA, CALIFORNIA 92041-0314 / (619) 463-6611 P§ -2- This is for the purpose of relocation only, as this obviates our setting the precedent of funding social and health services which we have agreed to be the responsibility of the County. However, due to the current 1986-87 budget hearings in every city throughout the County aad other government levels and the lease expiring, should we wait for the State and Federal monies to be released, the AIDS project would be without a home and face the possibility of a shutdown for several months. The timing of this is unfortunate. As a region we would face the possibility and embarrassment of having allowed the unusual circumstances and stress to create problems of an enormous magnitude for the patients who come to the project from all areas of the County. The identified costs necessary to execute this move total $92,500. Your assistance of $3,000 compiled with the other cities will total $45,000. I am asking the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego, in separate letters, to contribute $23,750 each, thereby making up the total as a one-time emergency fund to keep this worthwhile project serving the residents of the County. Please give this your most urgent and sincere consideration, as these monies are needed now and must be committed prior to May 15th. Please draw this contribution from your unallocated reserves or other fund sources within your current 1985-86 fiscal budget. Considering this as a part of 1986-87 budget would delay and magnify the above -mentioned difficulties. Please make your check payable to the San Di ,o AIDS Project and mail it to my attention at La Mesa City Hall. The cities of San Diego have a respectable history of pulling together in times of need to assist the County in a weal: moment (i.e., the ASTREA helicopter purchase). This will stand as another fine example of our willingness to cooperate and make a difference for the citizens of our County. For this, I thank you. Since gly, red Nagel Mayor 0072/FN:AM 5/
