ITEM EXPLANATION: On October 21, 1985 the Parks and Recreation Commission authorized ISOC to construct and operate, for a one year trial period, an indoor soccer facility on the two (2) northern Monroe Tennis Courts, at their expense. A trial basis was recommended in order to evaluate the recreational needs within the community for this sport. The Monroe site is owned and operated by the City. Based upon the number of participants that are enrolled in ISOC, the president of ISOC feels a need exists to expand the indoor soccer facility. Currently the court is less than regulation size and cannot accommodate regulation adult use. On May 12, 1986 staff received a written proposal from ISOC (Exhibit 1) requesting permission to expand the soccer court in order to accommodate adult and youth participation. Stating the success of Indoor Soccer as the reason for expansion, the request addressed the possibility of a lease agreement with the City allowing the facility to be run as a non-profit enterprise by ISOC. ISOC has applied for State of California non-profit status, which is pending. The ISOC proposal was reviewed by the Commissions Special Project Committee and the Park and Recreation Cornmisshn (Exhibit 2). Realizing that the soccer court expansion would eliminate the remaining two (2) tennis courts at Monroe and acknowledging the concerns of tennis and soccer enthusiast$, a decision on this proposal was deferred pending further investigation. The Bmk and Recreation Commission directed staff to identify alternative sites for tennis and possibly the indoor soccer facility using available City property. Staff presented its report (Exhibit 3) to the Park and Recreation Commission on September 15, 1986. Considerable Community input by Tennis and Soccer enthusiast was heard at that time. The Commission voted 4-1-1 to recommend the following: 1. Approval of ISOC’s request to expand the soccer facility to include the entire Monroe site. 2. That the public use of the High Schooltennis courts include the hours of 12:OO p.m. to 1:00 p.m., as well as after school use. AB# Page 2 3. The City light the nine High School courts, using Fiscal Year 1987-88 CIP or other funding; and 4. Staff negotiate a Use Agreement with ISOC that includes repayment by ISOC to the City for lighting the tennis courts with monies generated from use of the soccer facility, and that ISOC agree to return the tennis courts to their present condition upon vacating the courts. An additional motion was made to direct staff to continue pursuing locations that could house the indoor soccer facility on a permanent basis. The motion passed unanimously. STAFF ANALYSIS: A CEQA review of this project will be required. Contingent upon council concurrence with the Park and Recreation Commission recommendation, a Conditional Use Permit and an Environmental Impact Assessment will be pursued. Staff recommends pursuing the Use Agreement with ISOC only after they receive non-profit status. Conditions of a Use Agreement will contain but are not limited to: * Liability Insurance Requirements * Revenue To The City * User Fees For Non-Exclusive Use * Duration of Agreement (Four Years Maximum With Cancellation Clause) * Maintenance * Hours of Use * Restore Courts To Original Condition Upon Termination FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City in setting up the soccer facility. However, depending on the accuracy of the revenue to be generated by participants, ISOC estimates the City could receive $15,000 annually. Additionally, if the courts were converted for soccer use, a savings in tennis court maintenance would be $2$00'0 annually. Due to the Park and Recreation Commissions concern for providing increased use availability of tennis facilities, they recommended that the City light the nine tennis courts at Basswood and Valley. Staff will request funding ($60,000 est.) in the Fiscal Year 1987-88 CIP budget process. EXHIBITS: 1. ISOC proposal - May 5, 1986. 2. Park and Recreation Commission Minutes of July 21, 1986. 3.

Carlsbad, CA 92008 RECEiVED MAY I 2 1986 De'ar Ms. Chase: Isn December, 1984, I proposed that the City of Carlsbad, convert the Monroe St. Tennis Courts to a "Speed Soccer" Court. (INDOOR SOCCER) and attempted to show that it would be a valuable asset to the City. However, at that time, the Commission was unsure about the feasibility of such a facility and 'shelved' it. In November of 1985, I requested a smaller area in which to build a small demonstration court funded entirely with private funds. This was approved md the Soccer Court was erected. INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD (ISOC) purchased an Indoor Soccer System from the defunct 'LAS VEGAS AMERICANS' and a portion of the court is presently set up and in use at the Monroe St. site. Unfortunatly, it is inadequate in length for adult play. however, The "INDOOR SOCCER" court was an instant success! Of course with success comes problems! i.e.: 1. Demand for use of the Court. (Who decides, City or Club) 2. Size of the Court is too small. (Reduced team size.) 3. Supervision & maintenance of operation. We have gemonstrated both the tremendous demand and the economic feasibility of a regulation INDOOR SOCCER COURT. The facility will be in use year around and will be the envy of all of North County. Not only ful.lfilling a public recreation need, but making a profit while doing so! We are asking you to accept the following proposals; 1. Allow INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD (ISOC) to expand the court immediately. by removeing the center fence and extending the SOCCER COURT another ninty (90) feet into the existing tennis courts. This would eliminate the two (2) remaining tennis courts, but the very small number of players currently using these courts could be accomodated at the nine tennis courts at tine corner of Valley & Basswood St. This woiild also leave a small area at the end of the SOCCER COURT for teams to warm up while awaiting their turn on the court. 2. The City of Carlsbad would take over the facility and reimburse I.S.O.C. for the cost of the system,(see attached cost breakdown) or, The City would lease the land to I.S.O.C. who would then run the facility as a private enterprise. Attached please find a schedule of estimated expenses, and revenues, and costs involved for the City to take over and operate the facility. Thank you very much for your help and consideration in this matter. Sincerely EXHIBIT 1 1' INDOOR SOCCER OF- CARL$BAD 3 Lynn Chase Parks & Recreation Dept. City of Carlsbad This list of revenues & expenses are only an estimate, and would vary accordingly if operated by the City of Carlsbad, or if operated as a Private Enterprise. I.S.O.C. has invested approximately Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.) to date and would expend about Eight/Ten Thousand ($8/10,000.) more to expand the court to regulation size. Therefore the City could take over the court completely finished at a cost of approximately Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.). It would allow additional use of the facility if it were lighted, however this would cost approximately Twenty-five Thcgssnd Dollars ($25,000.) more. At any rate the City would receive a very attractive (and profitable) facility on a 'turn key' basis. The projected costs and expenses to operate the facility annually are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. TOTALS - ITEM LOW (No Lights) Labor $35,000. Insurance 8,500. Uniforms (Shirts) 2,500. Referees 10,000. Debt (Amortized 5 yrs) 12,480. Maintenance & Utilities 2,400. $70,880. HIGH (With Lights) $40,000. 10,000. 4,200. 15,600. 16,200. 6,000. $92,000. €rimary Revenue would accrue from player fees, (Forty dollars each) and would vary depending on the number of teams (games) scheduled. i.;ithout lighting the facility you could schedule eight (8) games each Saturday, eight (8) games each Sunday and two games each week night, (lo), for a total of twenty-six games per week. Each team would consist of ten (10) players, so each game would be twenty (20) players. Therfore; 26 Games, times 20 players, times $40., equals $20,800.00. If you play 10 week seasons, you could have five sessions at a total revenue of $104,000. If you play an 8 week season, you could have six sessions at a total revenue of $124,800. If the facility were lighted, you could play an additional 16 games per week resulting in additional revenue of $12,800 per session. This would be an annual increase of $64,000. or $76,800. Lighting the facility would be a good investment. Either way (lighted or unlighted) the facility is a profit maker! Unlighted $104,000.00 $70,800.00 $33,200.00 Lighted 168,000.00 92,000.00 76,000.00 Annual revenue Annual expenses Profit Even if revenue is 33% lower, the facility will break even and provide a much needed public facility. -.--,\,,.- r.nrr,-.-- -- -- -- --.P Y MINUTES !

City will perform minimal maintenance and will defer or cancel plans for site improvements. FISCAL IMPACT The City stands to gain financially from a Use Agreement with ISOC: 1. Annual net profit presently = $2,000 2. Projected revenue from ISOC, first year = $3,000 - $10,000 SEE ATTACHMENT 'ID- 1 'I DISCUSSION Staff looked at many concerns, including: 1. Site analysis, present use by tennis and soccer groups 2. Loss of tennis facility and alternatives 3. Benefits of acquiring indoor soccer facility 4. Benefits of Use Agreement for private enterprise (3-5 years) SEE ATTACHMENT I'D-2" SUMMARY Expanding the indoor soccer court provides a new recreation opportunity for youth and adults, at no cost to the taxpayers. The City will lose four, old-but-usable, tennis courts and gain the opportunity to generate revenue that could be used to acquire, develop, improve other facilities, ie. lighting the nine high school tennis courts.

Unfortunatly, it is inadequate in length for adult play. however, The "INDOOR SOCCER" court was an instant success! Of course with success comes problems! i.e.: 1. Demand for use of the Court. (Who decides, City or Club) 2. Size of the Court is too small. (Reduced team size.) 3. Supervision & maintenance of operation. We have demonstrated both the tremendous demand and the economic feasibility of a regulation INDOOR SOCCER COURT. The facility will be in use year around and will be the envy of all of North County. Not only fullfilling a public recreation need, but making a profit while doing so! We are asking you to accept the following proposals; 1. Allow INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD (ISOC) to expand the court immediately. by removeing the center fence and extending the SOCCER COURT another ninty (90) feet into the existing tennis courts. This would eliminate the two (2) remaining tennis courts, but the very small number of players currently using these courts could be accomodated at the nine tennis courts at the corner of Valley & Bassimod St. This would also leave a small area at the end of the SOCCER COURT for teams to warm up while awaiting their turn on the court. 2. The City of Carlsbad would take over the facility and reimburse I.S.O.C. for the cost of the system,(see attached cost breakdown) or, The City would lease the land to I.S.O.C. who would then run the facility as a private enterprise. Attached please find a schedule of estimated expenses, and revenues, and costs involved for the City to take over and operate the facility. Thank you very much for your help and consideration in this matter. ATTACHMENT I'B" /' INDOOR SOCCER OF- CARL$BAD F'. 0. BOX 22 17 - CARLSBAD, CA 920Q8 5~r-86 Lynn Chase Parks & Recreation Dept. City of Carlsbad This list of revenues & expenses are only an estimate, and would vary accordingly if operated by the City of Carlsbad, or if operated as a Private Enterprise. I.S.O.C. has invested approximately Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.) to date and would expend about Eight/Ten Thousand ($8/10,000.) more to expand the court to regulation size. Therefore the City could take over the court completely finished at a cost of approximately Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.). It would allow additional use of the facility if it were lighted, however this would cost approximately Twenty-five Thcussnd Dollars ($25,090.) more. At any rate the City would receive a very attractive (and profitable) facility on a 'turn key' basis. The projected costs and expenses to operate the facility annually are: ITEM LOW (No Lights) HIGH (With Lights) 1. Labor $35,000. $40,000. 2. Insurance 8,500. 101000. 3. Uniforms (Shirts) 2,500. 4,200. 4. Referees 10,000. 15,600. 5. Debt (Amortized 5 yrs) 12,480. 16,200. TOTALS $70 , 880 . $92,000. 6. Maintenance & Utilities 2,400. 6,000. Primary Revenue would accrue from player fees, (Forty dollars each) and Kould vary depending on the number of teams (games) scheduled. !.;ithout lighting the facility you could schedule eight (&) games each S2turday, eight (8) games each Sunday and two games each week night, (lo), for a total of cwenty-six games per week. Each team would consist of ten (10) players, so each game would be twenty (20) players. Therfore; 26 Games, times 20 players, times $40., equals $20,800.00. If you play 10 week s?asons, you could have five sessions at a total revenue of $104,000. If you play an 8 week season, you could have six sessions at a total revenue of $124,800. If the facility were lighted, you could play an additions! 16 games per week resulting in additional revenue of $12,800 per session. This would be an annual increase of $64,000. or $76,800. Lighting the facility would be a good investment. Either way (lighted or unlighted) the facility is a profit maker! Enlighted $104,000.00 $70,800.00 $33,200.00 Lighted 168,000.00 92,000.00 76,000.00 Annual revenue Annual expenses Profit Even if revenue is 33% lower, the facility will break even and provicie E inuch nseaed public facility.

SITE ANALYSIS The City acquired the four old tennis courts from the School District prior to construction of the Swim Complex in 1981. Two courts are asphalt surface and in poor condition: these courts are the location of the ISOC field during the one-year trial. Two southerly courts are concrete, were resurfaced by the Recreation Division approximately eight years ago. The court fencing replacement funds were requested by Parks Division for FY 86-87 Budget. The southerly tennis courts use is: A. City conducted lessons Youth, after-school; M & W, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Adults, evening (Summer), M & W, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. B. Non-Scheduled - free play use by unidentifed adult males/females and couples, day-time hours, year-round. C. High School classes/team practice. Two courts have been used for "overflow" of students when all nine high school courts are in use for PE classes (seasonal only) or during tennis team seasonal need. A chronology of the Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad development and use is documented. See Attachment "E". Staff has observed heavy use of the soccer facility from mid- February through May 31. The facility is used at the present time for "pick-up games" by adults: no fee is charged at this time according to Jim Courtney, ISOC President. A copy of the ISOC schedule was provided by ISOC and is attached to snow the first season's use. See Attachment "F" . ATTACHMENT 'ID-2" - INDOOR SOCCER OF C1 ASBAD REPORT CONTINUED. LOSS OF TENNIS FACILITY & ALTERNATIVES 1. The greatest impact to the community will be the loss of 2-4 playable tennis courts in the north-west quadrant of the city. The loss will be felt by those adults who drop in for free-play. No staff is present at the courts, so these users remain unidentified. The public can be notified of alternate sites by posted notice, press releases, and personal contact by assigning pool staff to the task. These tennis players will be directed to the High School courts, Laguna Riviera courts and La Costa Canyon courts and in the future, Stagecoach courts. Calavera Park courts, in the future, will be the choice for play in North Carlsbad. The Department has prepared a written request to the High School to approve making three of the nine school courts available during school hours for two hours, mornings, Monday through Friday, for use by the Department four hours per week and for use by the general public six hours per week. 2. Instructional classes for adults presently offered at Monroe courts may be relocated to other courts including Laguna Riviera and La Costa Canyon Parks. This move would reduce drop-in, free-play, at those two sites. If the School District approves the request for court use during school, relocation to other courts is unnecessary. Youth classes now at Monroe, after-school hours, may be relocated to the High School courts except during the school's competitive tennis season. Lessons for youth will not be scheduled at the High School during the heavy use season: staff will continue to look for alternative sites including private neighborhood association facilities and/or local commercial accommodations. 3. Staff has no recommendation for the High School overflow use groups. ATTACHMENT I'D-2" continued BENEFITS - INDOOR SOCCER FACILITY Staff is aware of the growing popularity of soccer and recommends the installation of a permanent facility. An indoor soccer facility offers several advantages over a typical outdoor field including: 1. Cost to perform weekly maintenance is less (artificial turf versus growing turf) . 2. Enclosed field of play preferred by novice and experienced players; will provide new opportunity for youth and adults. 3. Permanent field installation on City site identifies Carlsbad 3s a leader in providing soccer fields in North County: closest indoor soccer field is at Encinitas YMCA. BENEFITS - USE AGREEMENT 1. Staff recommends a Use Agreement as the method preferred for acquiring and operating an indoor soccer facility for the following reasons: A. CaDital to Build & ODerate Private enterprise can be responsible for the up-front dollars to buy, install, or expand facility; the City has no plans to include such a facility in the Capital Improvement Program. B. City does not presently budget for staff to schedule, maintain, and operate a facility of this type and intense use. While the Recreation Division could include staff and funding in FY 87-88 budget request, the private enterprise can accomplish the same ends quicker and probably at less cost. C. The City stands to gain considerable revenue from a Use Agreement at no cost, fi + pr tvJ, 2. Use Agreement Recommendations A. Duration Recommendation: Minimum three years, maximum five years with both cancellation/renewal clauses. If the facility proves to be unprofitable to ISOC, Jim Courcney plans to offer the service to the community using volunteers. B. City Participation: No City funds be expended to install and maintain or operate facility.

SOCCER OR TENNIS ON MONROE ST. COURTS? * FACT SUMMARY * -There is a shortage of tennis courts felt by players in the city today. We have 8 city-owned courts: 2 on loan to Indoor Soccer: plus the partial use of 9 high school courts during the 184 non- school days.' We are currently 32% below the standard set by Parks & Recreation for tennis courts in Carlsbad. - -Loss of 4 courts is 50% of all city-owned courts. Then we would be 48% below standard. Note: 9 of these courts are restricted 181 days per year due to school priority. -High School administration is opposed to conversion of tennis courts. -High school athletic teachers & coaches want & use Monroe courts. -Tennis provides free recreation for all aqes any time without facility fee. -Indoor soccer costs each player $40. for one 10 week session for select groups on a supervised field. -Four new tennis courts will cost at least $80,000, thus the City is donating $80,000 worth of existing tennis facilities to indoor soccer. -These 4 courts cover an area of 240 ft. by 100 ft. (24,000 sq ft.); soccer needs a pad 85ft. by 200 ft. (17,000 sq. ft.) which is a 29% waste of pavement! A new concrete pad for soccer costs about $20,000 on level land. -Soccer interests will construct at another site, all they need is land. -Paved surfaces of the subject courts are not at the same elevation & must be modified for a soccer field. Further damage will occur when fastening about 100 soccer wall segments to pavement with 200 spikes. * OPINION SUMMARY * -We are already a leading field soccer community with 27 fields in all. Indoor soccer interests should be patient until a proper site is found. -A fast temporary or permanent solution - leasing or seeking donation of a site near car country, Plaza Camino Real, Pea Soup Anderson, San Diego Gas & Electric or in industrial parks or other private land where zoning is suitable. -The loss of tennis courts is a negative response to a growing need for more courts as indicated by our population increase & the new tourist promotion of Carlsbad as a tourist destination & recreation resort. - 'I 1 : 1 We contend that speed soccer, a.k.a. indoor soccer, is an avant-garde sport, a recent spin-off of the traditional field soccer, which has gained a certain amount of notoriety in this area due to the success of the championship San Diego Sockers. Indoor soccer is not, in fact, the sport which is the "most 'popular,sport in the world." To tear down existing, newly re- furbished facilities which are used regularly to accommodate a . trial sport which promises great potential economic profit lacks ,credibility. Based on the followinb, we do not think that conversion of the Monroe Street tennis courts to an expanded indoor soccer arena is in the best interest of the community, either recrea- tionally or from a tax-use standpoint. 1. Need for public tennis courts: a. loss of 4 courts would further increase the existing 32% court: population deficit in Carlsbad, See attachment A; b. 2 courts newly resurfaced and in good condition; resurfac- ing of 2 north courts was halted last year to accommodate ISOC (Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad); from minutes of P & R Corn., Oct.21, 1985, paragraph F, See attachment B; 1) Monroe St. courts are used daily, year around by local residents: a) used daily in the mornings by a group of retired residents; this maximizes the usage of these courts since while other sport facilities are idle all day long, the tennis courts are being used by a group of citizens who do not impact the sport facilities when workin3 people & school children would want to use them; b) particularry heavy use on week-ends by working people & youths c) relocation of these players would overcrowd other facilities throughout the city; 2) courts used for Parks & Recreation department tennis lessons a) lessons are being rescheduled to other courts in the city to accommodate ISOC b! relocation of these lessons causes further loss of available tennis time at Carlsbad's 4 other courts located at Laguna Riviera & La Costa Canyon; c) Mr, Kam feels that moving the youth lessons from Monroe St. to Laguna Riviera is moving the tennis away from ready accessibility of the children in North Carlsbad 3) used by high school for physical education classes & the tennis team: 1 I had to be used by thgJr. Varsity tennis team this past fall in order to get the team ready for its tennis season as the Varsity was using the other courts; was used frequently as a teaching station before the soccer arena was put on the north courts, 1/ P. E. classes require more than 2 courts, 2/ classes use them for other court-type games, e.g., volley tennis, so use is not necessarily seasonal: Mr. Marv Cap, Carlsbad High School varsity girls' & boys' tennis soach, stated, "Loss of the 4 Monroe Street tennis courts will hurt the high school tennis program because local availability of tennis courts encourages the participation of youth who feed into the high school tennis program. 'I Note: there is no Jr. High school tennis program. 4) used by visitors & tourists; currently tourists staying at the Carlsbad Inn are being referred to the Monroe St. courts for their tennis: 5) used as overflow for local tournaments; c. Tennis provides free recreation for all aqes at any time. d. a sport which can be played by all members of a family to- gether without regard to age or size; e. a sport one can enjoy when he has time: 1) does not require participation on a team or adhering to 2) important point for visitors & tourists; 3) important for working people & week-end athletes; loss of 2 of tk Monroe St. tennis courts was a contributing factor. i A. - strict schedules; f. In 1986 Carlsbad did not have a youth tennis league. The 3) I the youth tenniS league has a spring & fall session last- ing 6-10 weeks e'ach depending on the number of teams, loss of 2 Monroe St. courts left only 2 courts in the area for week-end players to be diverted to from the high schools courts where the youth league would play, Mrs. Glenda Hasselo,of Tri-City Patrons, feels that taking 12 to 20 Saturdays from the general tennis public, in addition to the week-ends used for youth tournaments, was not in the best interests of the community; g. Carlsbad has never been able to enter a team in North County Doubles, a tennis league for men & women 18 & over, 1) encompasses teams from clubs & cities in an area from Camp Pendleton to Rancho Santa Fe & inland to Fallbrook & Scripps Ranch; 2) the requirement to enter a team in North County Doubles is to have 2, good courts available for team play: 3) in 1986 No. County Doubles included teams representing 35 cities & clubs with 140 teams & over 2,000 players: 3 2. The administration of Carlsbad High School is against the conversion of the Monroe Street tennis courts to indoor soccer . 3. Removing 50% of the already established city-owned tennis courts is contradictory to the growth plans of P & R and the City Council to increase the number of courts in Carlsbad. If the 4 Monroe courts are lost to indoor soccer & the 4 new courts are finished at-Stagecoach Park, the city will have made ZERO progress for its past several years of planning. 4. Expense to City: a. approximately $86,000 immediate loss, not taking into con- b. cost of lighting high school courts from city funds, $32,850; sideration the value of the land, See attachment C; low estimate : to be repaid by ISOC, when? 1) the cost to light L court for 1 hour with minimum lighting (6 lights) is $1.40, 2) therefore, to light 1 court for 1 hour a day for 1 year costs $511; to light 9 courts costs $4,599 per year for only 1 hour a day: c. utility costs, on-going expense: " d. non-mcnetary expense - loss of good will of a large tennis .- community as well as non-tennis playing citizens who are taking a keen interest in what is going on & why; e. fees from agreement with ISOC are supposed to off-set these losses to the city & in fact, generate income, 1) at Mr. Courtney's proposed rate of gross income, $104,000 per year, with';3% to 10% being returned to the city, it would take from'28 to 8.6 years for the city to break even from its loss of the 4 tennis courts: 2) in order to generate this amount of income indoor soccer would have to operate at maximum capacity for 50 weeks of the year: 15. Mr Courtney said if the indoor soccer program was not profitable ISOC could turn the program over to volunteers to run. In that instance who would: a. pay the liability insurance - projected to be $8,500 annually? b. pay the maintenance - projected to be $2,400 annually? c. pay the negotiated fee to the city for use of the tennis d. replace the funds used to light the high school tennis courts? e. pay for the reconversion to tennis courts? court site? 6. 7. 8. 9. The lighting of the Carlsbad High School tennis courts should not depend upon trading 4 tennis courts to ISOC. a. lighting the courts would provide after-work tennis facilities b. courts would need qood lights: minimal lighting (6 lights c. if there is sufficient public need for the lighting of the for people in the North section of Carlsbad; per court) is not adequate lighting; high school courts, the City should assume this responsi- bility & fit it into its budget planning; d. Mr. Cap, the high school tennis coach, is against lighting the high school courts for the following reasons: 1) unattended public courts with lights are subject to increased vandalism, especially damage to the nets & wind screens, 2) they encourage unauthorized use such as skateboarding, 3) they attract loiterers & encourage youths congregating in the area at night; Damage to tennis courts: a. the 2 north courts & the 2 south courts are on a different ground plane level by several inches, See photo # 1; 1) it is necessary to have a level surface for a soccer field, 2) the level of the south courts would have to be raised to create a flat surface & could cause damage to the newly resurfaced courts: b. about 200 spikes used to anchor the soccer walls & fixtures would create large holes in the court surfaces, particularly in the concrete surfaces of the south courts, See photo # 2; 1) patching for reconversion to tennis would cause a blemish on the tennis court which could cause the ball to bounce irregularly & enterfere with the normal game of tennis; 2) reconversion to*tennis would require extensive patching of the courts & would probably require complete resur- fa cing : Indoor soccer is not free : a. fee for playing, projected $40. per player for 8-10 week sess ion : b. would the courts be open & available when not in match use for local kids to kick a ball around? See photo # 3; Indoor soccer is not a sport for all aqes: a. b. Mr. Courtney stated that a 7 year old was too young to play speed soccer & he was referred to the P & R field soccer program; many adults who participate safely in other sports, e.g., baseball & tennis, could not play a physically demanding & rough sport such as indoor soccer; 5 10. Impact on local sports programs: a, b. C. a year around indoor soccer program would draw from other seasonal sports & weaken Parks & Recreation programs for adults & youth; the winter-spring slot indicated for youth play would interfere with existing school sports programs, e.g., track, basketball, baseball & tennis for jr. high & high school youths: coaches know that an athlete cannot participate in two sports at the same time; 11, Impact on neighborhood: a. a proposed 520 players per week plus officials, families, workers & spectators using rest rooms at the swimming pool or without any facilities when the pool is closed; b. a proposed 1300 soccer matches a year with its accompanying traffic congestion: c, increased noise every evening & all week-end year around to residential area; d. arena has sponsor advertising signs which are unsightly to the over-all complex; e, uncontrolled accessibility of large numbers of unidentified adults to the high school campus & swimming pool area: f. would monopolize the parking area shared with the swim com- ' plex, high school activities & the cultural center: g. increased litter & debris in the area from food vending stands : 12. Would indoor soccer, at this site, benefit the City of Carlsbad? E! a, what would be thekatio df resident to non-resident use of a facility which is' unique in North County? 1) to a private enterprise this ratio is not relevant, more participants, more revenue! 2) this ratio should be important to the Parks & Recreation department when deciding whether to allow an existing, used & needed facility (the Monroe St. tennis courts) to be destroyed (converted to speed soccer); 3) high non-resident usage would be an important issue to local taxpayers; b. the anticipated high volume usage of this type of facility makes this site adjacent to the high school campus & swim complex inappropriate & undesirable: 1) soccer matches would be going on during all of the after school activities & sports programs of the high school; 2) large numbers of young adults, soccer players & spectators, would be brought into daily proximity with the high school students.& youngsters using the swimming pool; .. On behalf of concerned tennis players of Carlsbad & non-playing citizens who oppose the conversion of the tennis courts at Monroe Street to an indoor soccer arena, we propose that: 1. conversion of the two remaining Monroe Street tennis courts for expansion to an indoor soccer arena be denied; 2. the two north courts now occupied by ISOC be reconverted to tennis and be resurfaced according to the previous intent of the Parks & Recreation department so that we have 4 good tennis courts at Monroe' Street: 3. ISOC and/or P & R continue their search'for a suitable area (new park, private land or ?) where a permanent indoor soccer arena can be constructed without the destruction of other sport facilities & displacement of other sportsmen.

ISOC is a non-profit organization & any profits would go back into the sports program. ISOC would be using the courts for only 4 years. Loss of Monroe courts for 4 years is worth getting the high school lights because tennis usage is so low on these courts & lighting the h.s. courts would make tennis accessible to many working people. The Monroe courts are almost always empty & only 8 players have been identified on the courts by the personnel at the swimming pool who have been keeping a count. Indoor soccer players would be of jr high & high school age & adults, c,7\<,i,<a* .*** s. C./L%..h ('L 'cJ--' p.,L I' ,a i no children. Cn) <y - i f- 1: The soccer arena is not used more at this time because it is too small for adult use & the youths don't use it because it would in- terfere with field soccer which is being played now. If ISOC does not get the use of the 4 courts to expand the arena to full size, Mr. Courtney will most likely move his program elsewhere, perhaps to another North County city. Carlsbad has 15 or 17 tennis courts depending on if the 2 courts already occupied by ISOC are counted. Staff does not count these courts . The tennis standard for Carlsbad is 1 court per 2,000 population. Standard for soccer is 1:6,000 for adults, 1:4,000 for children: the City differentiates between the two. 4 courts are planned at Stagecoach Park, scheduled,completion is July 1987. 2 courts are planned at Calavera, no construction date has been set. All 6 new courts will be lighted. Expense of utility bills for lighting the h.s. courts should not enter into this matter because these are automatically absorbed by the City as are the utility bills for La Costa Canyon & Laguna Riviera .

I feel that destroying an existing facility which has recently been refurbished at a cost of several thousand dollars and which is used daily by school children and residents of the surrounding area is not in the best interest of the com- munity. In-addition, I question the actual usage of the soccer facility regarding numbers of people involved. When speaking recently with Mr. Courtney, he told me there is no youth program at this time. One is due to be instituted in January. The youths are presently playing on regular field soccer teams. He also stated there would be adult matches on Sundays. This does not seem to be adequate usage to warrent taking two more tennis courts. Further, Mr. A1 Kam stated that he does need the Monroe courts for his Parks and Recreation teaching pro- gram. By relocating his lessons to other courts in the city he is cutting down the availability of tennis fa- cilities to residents of these areas, specifically La Costa Canyon and Laguna Riviera. Thus, the impact of losing these two courts would not be localized to North Carlsbad, but would have repercussions throughout the city. It would also present a hardship on the youth who currently are involved in the tennis program as they would have to find transportation to outlying areas for their tennis lessons. I would be interested to know 1) exactly how many players are currently signed and have paid to play speed soccer with Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad and 2) the resi- dency of each player.

YOURS VERY TRULY, September 29, 1986 The City Council City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Steet Carlsbad, CA 92008 Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to strongly object to the recent recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Com- mission toconvert the two remaining tennis courts on Monroe Street to allow for the expansion of the Indoor Soccer court. The conversion of the first pair of tennis courts to allow a one year's test of the soccer facility should have proven convincingly that this is the poorest utilization of a pop- ular sports facility in the city's inventory. To allow the expansion to delete two more tennis courts to this little- used sport is only compounding the mistake. The reputed future popularity of this revenue-producing indoor soccer facility can best be countered by pointing out that the equipment installed on the present soccer court came from a bankrupt similar facility in a nearby city. 1 speak on behalf of those tax paying citizens of Carlsbad who are beyond the soccer playing age but can still enjoy playing tennis regularly.

A Yours truly, October 8, 1986 ‘ ‘kc.’’’ TO MEMBERS OF THE CARLSBAD CITY COUNCIL: I am a resident of Carlsbad on and off for the past 25 years and have been here for the past 13 years and am very much concerned about the tennis courts on Monroe being turned into an Indoor Soccer court. I would like to relate my experience regarding these tennis courts. I stopped by the Parks and Recreation office in Aug of 1985 to see if any progress had been made regarding resurfacing the remaining 2 tennis courts next to the high school. Mr. Bradstreet was not in and I filled out a request for him to call me regarding this matter. He returned my phone call and informed me that resurfacing was to begin the end of Aug or beginning 05 Sept. I thanked him caying how pleased I was to hear this. I was therefore quite surprised to hear that the courts were going to be used for indoor soccer. I called Parks & Recreation again regarding this and was informed that they were indeed going to turn this into a soccer court, even though the courts had been resurfaced as tennis courts, on a trial basis for a year. I even called a member of the Recreation Board and was informed that this was true, and I again reiterated that they should be kept as tennis courts. I do not believe as a taxpayer in this city that tennis courts should be taken away to make way for a profit making facility. I also wish to express my feelings regarding the appearance ’ of the outdoor court alongside our lovely cultural center and high school, it is not very pleasing with signs etc.al1 over it. I do hope the council will be in favor elg keeping our much needed tennis courts. Sincerely Mary B.

Thank you for your time, OCTOBER 12, 1986 HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL THE CITY .OF CARLSBAD 1200 ELM AVENUE CARLSBAD, CA 92008 GENTLEMEN : I AM WRITING IN PROTEST TO YOUR PLAN TO ELIMINATE THE REMAINING TWO TENNIS COURTS ON MONROE AVENUE ADJACENT TO CARLSBAD HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN THE FIRST TWO COURTS WERE TAKEN AWAY I WAS RATHER DISMAYED THAT SUCH COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LIGHT OF THERE NOT BEING ENOUGH PUBLIC COURTS IN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD ALREADY. SINCE MOVING HERE IN 1977, I KNOW OF ONLY TWO PUBLIC COURTS BEING BUILT. THEY ARE IN THE LA COSTA AREA AND ARE USUALLY OCCUPIED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF HOW MUCH IN DEMAND THESE FACILITIES ARE, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ELIMINATED ANY OF THE COURTS ON MONROE AT ALL. SINCERELY, JX MILA ROS LITTLEJOHN 1703 CANNAS COURT CARLSBAD, CA 92008 .. .. c Dear Mayor Casler and Council Members, The tennis community of Carlsbad would like to thank you for your careful consideration of the issues involved in the dispute over the conversion of the Monroe Street tennis courts to indoor soccer. Of course, we were very pleased with your decision to retain the two good courts for tennis use. We feel that allowing the soccer program to continue on the other two courts was a fair decision. It had never been our intent to deprive our children of sporting facilities. We think that both the.tennis and soccer interests were addressed and both will benefit. Something very positive which has come out of this issue is that many of the tennis players in Carlsbad have become acquainted and united. We are forming an information network. We have learned a valuable lesson, that we must pay attention to what is happening in our community. We cannot be apathetic and expect our elected representatives to merely guess at our needs and wishes. Once again we thank you for your interest and for the time you invested in this issue. We appreciated your replies to our letters and our concerns. Yours truly, ..' ' .

' & 801 Pine Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008 729-9291 "Excellence In Education" October 21, 1986 Councilman Claude Lewis 2030 Basswood Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Councilman Lewis : It has recently come to our attention that the City of Carlsbad is considering the conversion of two City owned tennis courts located on the east side of Carlsbad High School into an indoor soccer facility. We acknowledge the increasing popularity of indoor soccer and the need to provide a greater number of such facilities for the community. We also recognize that there is a significan.': population whose interest would be served by pzovkding such a facility. However, we are opposed to the conversion of the tennis facil'ity to a soccer facility for the following reasons : 1. There currently exists an inadequate number 2. A reduction in the number of tennis courts of tennis courts at the present time. and increase the scheduling conflicts between the school and the community in using the Basswood tennis courts. 3. The reduced number of tennis courts will severely curtail the opportunities available to the Physical Education Department and to elementary students desiring to become skilled in the game of tennis. We do recommend that the City Council seriously consider other alternatives of indoor soccer facilities Assistant Dale J. Mitchell Principal .Print' Wil e/- iam a1 .

I feel that destroying an existing facility which has recently been refurbished at a cost of several thousand dollars and which is used daily by school children and residents of the surrounding area is not in the best interest of the com- munity. In addition, I question the actual usage of the soccer facility regarding numbers of people involved. When speaking recently with Mr. Courtney, he told me there is no youth program at this time, One is due to be instituted in January. The youths are presently playing on regular field soccer teams. He also stated there would be adult matches on Sundays. This does not seem to be adequate usage to warrent taking two more tennis courts. Further, Mr. A1 Kam stated that he does need the Monroe courts for his Parks and Recreation teaching pro- gram. By relocating his lessons to other courts in the city he is cutting down the availability of tennis fa- cilities to residents of these areas, specifically La Costa Canyon and Laguna Riviera. Thus, the impact of losing these two courts would not be localized to North Carlsbad, but would have repercussions throughout the city. It would also present a hardship on the youth who currently are involved in the tennis program as they would have to find transportation to outlying areas for their tennis lessons. L L L I would be interested to know 1) exactly how many players are currently signed and have paid to play speed soccer with Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad and 2) the resi- dency of each player. Respectfully yours, Irene K. Strause Copy to: Mr. David Bradstreet
