AB# a7f(,p MTG. 10-14-86 DEPT._PO_L __ SERVICES TO ALLOCATE FUNDS FOR ADDITIONAL POLICE SERVICES IN AREA OF KELLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CITY ATTY ~ CITY MGR.~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. !?r'-J 7 directing the Chief of Pol ice to provide addi tiona 1 police services 1n the genera 1 area of Kelly Elementary School and authorizing the transfer of $10,000 from the r.ontingency fund to the police department account 001-820-2120-1200 (Overtime Salaries) to fund this service. ITEM EXPLANATION: Over the past several months an increasing number of individuals believed to be illegal aliens have been in the area of Kelly Drive and El Camino Real. The recent new school session has created a situation in which these individuals interface with chi 1 dren going to and from school. The parents of the children have voiced concern at a meeting sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association of Kelly School on October 1. In response to the citizens' concerns, members of the City Council have requested that an agenda bill be placed on the Council agenda to consider allocating funds to the police department for additional police officers to patrol in the area around Kelly School. FISCAL IMPACT: In order to meet this request, staff has estimated the cost for providing the additional requested services. Current staffing levels do not afford us the capabilities of dedicated police presence at or around Kelly School. The additional funds necessary i.li guarantee one or two police units during the critical times is estimated at approximately $10,000. This amount will allow for sufficient staffing to be provided throughout the remainder rf the school year. The current contingency fund balance is $1,138,940. The transfer of $10,000 will reduce this baiance to $1,128,940. EXHIBITS: 1. Letter from Council Member Ann Kulchin dated October 1, 1986. 2.

I l October 2, 1986 TO: CITY MANAGER FRANK ALESHIRE -~CE CHIEF VINCE JIMNO FROM: Council Member Ann Kulchin I request, with the agreement of Vice Mayor Bud Lewis, that an agenda item be placed on the October 14, 1986 Council Agenda to allocate funds to our Police Department so that they can provide Police Officers to patrol the area3 around Kelly School when the children are arriving and leaving school. This would be in the morning and afternoon, and both on Kelly Drive and El Camino Real. Please be sure this item is placed on the October 14th agenda for discusrion. '!'hank you. Council Member cc: Vice Mayor Lewis Mayor Casler Council Members Chick and Pettine - OCTOBER 8, 1986 TO: CHIEF VINCENT JIMNO FROM: CAPTAIN ROBERT VALES UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS -KELLY SCHOOL AREA On October 7, 1986, I participated as one of seven members of a panel at Kelly Elementary School. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the problems surrounding undocumented a 1 i ens in and around the schoo 1 and specifically at the corner of El Camino Real and Kelly Drive. Approximately 200 parents attended the meeting. Many complaints were voiced centering on the presence of the undocumented aliens in the neighborhood. The complaints included illegal fires, trespassing and harassment of adults and children. The dominant concern by far was the presence of undocumented aliens at/near Kelly Ori ve and El Cami no Rea 1 when the children 1 eave the schoo 1 bus and walk to school in the morning. Verbal comments to the children and instances of urinating in public were commented on by the parents. There is a high level of frustration by parents at what they perceived to be inaction by the police department. I explained the department 1 s recognition of the problem and the fact that we do detain and we do arrest those individuals we observe violating the law. We are limited in our ability to stop and detain individuals who are merely standing on public property in broad daylight. There were several 11 solutions 11 offered that centered around enacting city ordinances to prevent loitering, etc in the city. I explained, as did the Border Patrol representative, the need for immigriltion reform legislation by the federal government. The fact of the matter is that local authorities can only bring about short term solut;ons and that the problem is going to get worse unless reform is forthcoming from Congress. I have attended both the day and evening shift briefings, explaining to personnel the problem we have. Personnel have been directed to maintain a presence in the Kelly School area every schoo 1 day from 0730 hours to 0815 hours un 1 ess ca 11 ed off for other deta i1 s. Subsequent to the meeting, I have been advised that our presence is consistent and observed by the parents. AddHionally, we continue to work with the Border Patrol I anticipate increased emphasis in the area by the Border Patro 1 and am hopeful we wi 11 be able to alleviate the problem. RBV:db I 1200 ELM AVENUE CARLSBAD, CA 92008-1989 City Council Office October 2, 1986 LETTER TO CONCERNED CITIZENS Enclosed are copies of a resolution and initiative prepared by other cities. After the discussion at last night's meeting at Kelly School, I have decided to introduce some form of legislation in the City of Carlsbad. I am requesting input from you as to what you think should be included in the legislation. Please review these documents, with an eye as to what you think should be included, along with what is already written. Perhaps the City should support employer sanctions, not suwort contractors and sub-contractors that hire illegals, or do more to enforce the housing codes. Please convey your thoughts to me at City Hall. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, 0 f\(\ IC ltCL ~( RICHARD J.

This bill is a continuation and polishing of the original bill, H.R. 3080, which I have supported with the exception of one portion which had prohibited open field searches by INS. The City Council should be a supporter of this legislation as it is written except for the 11 Schumer Amendment 11 • This particular amendment might be very detrimental to 5an Diego County and its cities. The amendment provides that an undocumented alien who has been able to evade being picked up by immigration authorities for more than 60 days and can prove he/she has been working in agriculture areas is eligible to receive permanent resident status (green card). In other words, if the alien does not get caught by INS, he:'she can stay. Secondly, the amendment allows these individuals to become eligible for the welfare programs. This will obviously create a significant financial drain on the county and possibly its cities. This amendment, although appealing across the Untied States, is a significant concern not only to San Diego County, but a 11 other major counties a 1 ong the border. As you are well aware, San Diego County has a tremendous number of illegal aliens as compared to other areas in California and the rest of the United States. I would recommend that if Council wishes to support this bil: that a resolution be adopted supporting the bill as a whole, but objecting the the 11 Schumer Amendment 11 articulating the concerns of an undue hardship on the welfare system which San Diego County as its cities would have to bear. I am available if you or any council member wishes to discuss this bill.
