RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Council approve Resolution No. 2F 7^ ^j allowing Rusing Enterprises
to conduct a two day Jet Ski Tournament at Agua Hedionda Lagoon on
October 4th and 5th, 1986.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
Rusing Enterprises Inc. has requested approval to conduct a two day
Jet Ski Tournament at Agua Hedionda Lagoon on October 4th and 5th,
1986. (Attachment "A")
At the August 18th meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
the request was reviewed and unanimously approved with the specific
dates to be finalized by staff and Greg Rusing.
The City of Carlsbad is presently named as additionally insured
by Rusing Enterprises Inc. in the amount of one million dollars.
In addition, the International Jet Ski and Boating Association
will provide a certificate of insurance naming the City of Carlsbad
as additionally insured for one million dollars.
The event is sanctioned by the International Jet Ski and Boating
Association. Specific tournament information is provided by Chris
Harmon, Lagoon Patrol Specialist. (Attachment "B")
The use of the lagoon by the general public during September to
March is considered very light; no problems are anticipated.
During the event, those who launch a ski boat or jet ski will go
directly from the ramp to the beaches and open area south of the
sand bar via the east channel. The counter-clockwise traffic
pattern will continue, except in the marina area north of the sand
bar during the event. The seasonal patrol ends prior to this event.
Parking for participants and spectators will be provided on Snug
Harbor Marina's property.
FISCAL IMPACT;
The tournament will be conducted without cost to the City.
An indirect benefit may result from the participants and others
staying in Carlsbad for the two day event.

Dear Greg Rusing:
This letter will serve as a follow-up to our conversation we held last
Thursday.
As stated my company in cooperation with Dana Point Jet Ski would like to
sponsor a series of Jet-Ski races in the Snug Harbor Marina.
As agreed considering the area we require is not that great, closing the
Harbor to the public would not be necessary.
Also I indicated our races would be sanctioned by the International Jet-Ski
Boating Association which would provide us with liability insurance.
We hope you agree to the terms mentioned for the first race (in September)
which gives you the entire gate and concessions.
Also discussed, the possible profit chang-±ilg~ plan in future races if feasible.
I hope these terms meet with your approval and enable us to commence planning
as soon as possible.
Presently, the following dates are available, September 6 and 7; 27 and 28;
October 4 and 5; 18 and 19. •""
As you can imagine we would like as much lead time as possible to organize
this event so your prompt consideration and reply will be greatly appreciated.
Feel free to call me or Ron Syperda to answer any questions you may have.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Bradley>xC'uthbertson

FORMAT FOR JET SKI RACES AT
AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON
The race format is a two day event starting at 9:00 a.m.
and ending at 5:00 p.m. on both days. There are three
separate categories within the race structure. They are:
1) Oval Course Race
2) Out and Back Agility Race
3) Freestyle Event
All race activity will take place in the Snug Harbor
area north of the sandbar.
The first day consists of separate heats to determine
who will be able to race in the semi-finals and finals on
the following day. A heat usually has 5 to 6 riders.
Thirty participants overall are usually expected to enter
these contests.
NOTE: Impact on other lagoon users will be minimal due to
the larger skiing area, beaches, south of the sandbar.
This area will be used for take-offs, drop-offs and
general skiing and boating activity during these
contests.

Chris Harmon
