OCTOBER 23, 1986
TO: CITY MANAGER
FROM: POLICE CHIEF
RECOMMENDATION -COUNCIL SUB-COMMITTEE ON POLICE ISSUES AT KELLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Council Sub-committee on Police Issues at Kelly School met on Friday, October
17, 1986. The sub-committee consisted of Vice Mayor Claude (Bud) Lewis, Council
Member Ann Kulchin, citizen Victoria Gubelmann, citizen Ronald Lovick, San Diego
County Chief Administrator Office Project Manager Augie Bareno, Police Captain
Robert Vales (staff resource person) and me. Thi~ report is the summary of the
meeting and the resultant direction given to staff.
The sub-committee first raised the issue that a Hispanic should be participating
in any future meetings. Gloria Carranza was brought up and I was directed to
invite her to the next meeting scheduled October 30, 3:00 P.M.
After the initial discussion, the sub-committee identified the following areas
of concern:
1. The congragation of 11 illegal aliens" along El Camino Real, Kelly Drive
and Park Drive and interfacing of children going to and from school and
these individuals along the streets.
2. 11 Illegal aliens" living in sub-standard living quarters in the field
areas surrounding Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the agricultural areas in
that part of the city.
3. Unhealthy and unsanitary conditions caused by the sub-standard living
conditions.
4. NCTD bus stops on both sides of El Camino Real at Kelly School causing
safety problems. The stop on the east side of the street causes safety
problems due to children crossing the street unattended and the stop on
the west side being an intert,ce location with illegal aliens standin~
on the corner trying to be picked up for work.
5. The City Council should take a leadership role in dealing with the major
issue of immigration and its impact within Carlsbad.
6. The final area of concern identified was the committee's concern that
tne current level of police officer staffing is not adequate to deliver
the kinds and level of service desired by the citizens, especially in the
areas of traffic and special problems.
Upon completion of discussing the major issues previously identified, the sub-
convnittee made the following recommendations and directed the Police Chief to
report the following recommendations to the City Council on October 28, 1986.
1. A resolution shouid be adopted asking the federal government to establish
a North County INS-Border Patrol office and provide the necessary funds
and staffing to deal with the immigration problems now being experienced in
North County.
2. Contact should be made with the land owners to solicit their participation
in cleaning up the sub-standard living and unsanitary conditions and
that this cleanup be repeated as often as necessary. Suggested time frames
for repetitive efforts is every three to six months.
3. Direct City's Chief Cod2 tnforcement Officer to make routine inspections
and cite for sub-sta~dard buildings, health and safety code violations
and other violations that relate to planning, zoning and building issues.
4. Request the San Diego County Health Department make periodic inspections
of the areas of concern and vigorously enforce health standards.
5. Request the North County Transit District to consider relocating the bus
stops currently located on El Camino Real at Kelly Drive to El Camino
Real and Tamarack. This will allow for children being dropped off by
the bus to be crossed safely by the crossing guard who is assigned at
Tamarack and El c~mino Real and secondly will take away the interface
of youngst&rs catching the bus or getting off the bus in the area where
11 illegal aliens 11 are congregating to be picked up for work by potential
employers.
6. Approve ''No Stopping" signs on the west ~ide of El Camino Real, both north
and south of Kelly Drive.
7. Authorize the Mayor to send a letter requesting support by the National
League of Cities, California League of Cities and the California State
Association of Counties. encouraging and requesting the federal government
to provide economic and physical relief to the cities! counties and states
most severly impacted by the immigration problem. This should include
requesting more monies to be spent in the areas of social welfare as well
as federal law enforcement responsibilities.
8. Authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the cities of Oceanside, Escondido,
Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, Solana BP.ach, Del Mar and San Diego County
requesting their support to ~ncour&ge and request that the federal government
prov·ide economic and physical relief to cities, counties and states most
severly affected by the immigration problem.
9. The Chief of Police provide a cost analysis and utilization plan should
the City Council wish to add additional sworn staff to the police department.
(See attached Cost Analysis and Utilization Plan.)
No further recommendations were made and ti1e meeting was adjourned. The next
meeti g-wil~~eld on October 30, at 3:00 P.M.

COST ANALYSIS AND UTILIZATION PLAN FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL
The Council Sub-committee requested the Chief of Police to deve 1 op a cost
analysis and utilization plan for additional sworn police personnel as
discussed by the sub-committee. This plan recognizes that all of the
problems identified will not necessarily go away or even be completely
manageable as their origin is greater and more complex than Carlsbad alone.
Secondly, this plan takes into consideration dealing with the concerns
expressed at the October 14, 1986 Counci1 meeting and the police department 1 s
1986 updated 11 Long Range Plan 11
•
This plan is prepared as a response to thf: sub-committee 1 s request of how
additional resources would be deployed or utilized, how much would it cost
and what impact would these resources have on the overall program of the
police department.
In the following matrix the resources are costed out in the order of
implementation. Secondly, some of the personnel generate revenues due to the
specific activity in which they are involved. It is therefore a budgeted
expense and a net real expense expressed. The net rea 1 expense is actual
cost after deducting revenues.

Cost Analysis and Utilization Plan for Additional Personnel
The plan fits directly into the long range plans that the police department
has worked under and updated for the past several years. The current estimated
population is approximately 52,300. The long range plan indicates the department
would have 1.30 officers per 1,000 population.
The additional staff shown is currently scheduled to be part of the 1987-88
budget request. Another factor being considered is that the first eight months
of 1986 has also shown a 11.3% increase in called-for services over the same
period in 1985. Two nptions the Council may wish to consider are implementation
of all or part of the listed additions or delaying all or portions to a later
time after further study. The delay could be of short term or a~ long as
the 1987-88 budget adoption. In either event, the time lag for actually seeing
new officers in the field will be approximately six to nine months after approval.
The current overtime budget has been increased to deal with the immediate
problem and therefore these problems should be manageable on thd short term.
The plan described deals with a lurger term approach.
This report is intended to provide what the committee asked to be done and
should not be interpreted as a formal request.

We are here tonight to address ourselves to a specific s~gment
of the ali~n popul•tion; that segment which is committing crimes
and breaking the laws of our community.
We are asking ~ou to give our Police and Fire Departments a
clear mand•te to aggressively enforce the laws of our land, and to
offer you, specific actions that can be taken D.2!!!. to make our
community a safer place for all law •biding people living here.
AGRESSIVELY ENFORCE OUR LAWS:
Loitering on streets and lands
Trespassing on public & private property
Drinking in Public
-Health & Safety codes
Fire Cooes
Littering on streets
No Stepping Zones
PROVIDE TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT THE LAWS:
Form • Special EnPorcement Bureau consisting of 3 to 5
officers, with it's first assignment being this problem.
Purchase additional Off-Road Equipment, including a short
base 4x4 vehicle and two off-road motorcycles.
Give our officers specific training in laws being
violated, and a short course in street Spanish.
-Provide the necessary holding Facilities.
Direct the County Health Department to imp~ove the basic
health conditions of our alien population, which will
provid~ a healthy environment for all.
Involve the land owners in the area to fence, post, and
clear their lands.
Hire a Security Quard to patrol an are~ of up to 3 miles
around Kelly School.
Improve the tralfic flow around Kelly and increase the

Federal law provides for the reimbur;ement of costs

The results ol the Border Patrol's activities today, shows that
our Police and Fire departments can solve the problems facing our
city, if you will give them the impetus., direction, equipment and
~esources thev need.

2896 Brentwood Court
Carlsbad, California 92008
October 28, 1986
Mayor Mary Casler and Members of the Carlsbad City Council:
I respectfully ask you as members of the Carlsbad City
Council not to take action on seven of the eight
recommendations of the "Council Sub-Committee regarding
police issues at or near Kelly Elementary School," until
additional input can be received that will be more
representative of the entire Carlsbad community.
Regarding the recommendation to "consider desirability, cost
and timing of hiring of any additional police personnel", if
Police Chief Jimno feels that additional police and safety
personnel are needed at the school, I certainly can support
his professional decision on this matter. After all, we are
all working for a safe and enjoyable community.
Nevertheless, regarding the other seven recommendations, I
feel we should avoid simple solutions to such complex
problems. We are addressing very sensitive issues and
thoughtful consideration should be given to each of them.
A task force, comprised of public health professionals,
churches, schools, law enforcement agencies, local growers
and land owners, small businesses, parents, members of the
Hispanic community, etc. should be formed to study the
issues, compile accurate data, and maka recommendations that
address the needs of the entirra Carlsbad community.
I too would like to see the City Council take a leadership
role in dealing with the major issua of immigration and its
impact within the Carlsbad community, but I would hope that
good judgement would prevail and that humanitarian solutions
are found to everyone's benefit.
Sincerely,
.!-J~~-
fai~ri a Carra
