MAINTENANCE AND USE OF LA COSTA RECOMMENDED ACTION: Amend existing agreement between the City of Carlsbad and the San Marcos Unified School District for maintenance of La Costa Meadows School site. f?€SoLurlad ~~30, 9293 , ITEM EXPLANATION: Under terms of the existing agreement, the City Parks Division is required to maintain the landscaped areas encompassing the entire La Costa Meadows School/Fuerte Park site. The City receives $14,000 annually from the School District to maintain the landscape areas immediately around the school buildings. Although the City owns Fuerte Park, it also assumes the maintenance responsibilities for the adjacent multi-use turf area owned by the San Marcos Unified School District. In return, the City reserves the right to schedule both areas for recreational use on an after school and weekend basis. San Marcos School District has requested to eliminate the City’s landscape maintenance responsibiilties around the school building; however, they wish to continue the existing arrangement for maintenance of the multi-use turf area. The Parks Superintendent has reviewed and is in agreement with their request. The additional staff time resulting from this change will be used to provide a higher level of maintenance at existing facilities and anticipated areas of responsibility such as medians and right-of-ways. This issue was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on October 19, 1987 and they have recommended the proposed change in maintenance responsibilities. FISCAL IMPACT: The $14,000 annual revenue generated from performing maintenance immediately around the school building would be eliminated; however, a cost savings in maintenance and operation would be realized. A breakdown is as follows: Personnel Costs: 3 people x 4 hrs/wk @ $lO/hr x 52 wks/yr = (Overhead) $6,240 X .30% $8,112 Landscape supplies (fertilizer, irrigation, $2,00O/acre x 3.3 acres = $6,600 ACTUAL 1987 COST TO MAINTAIN $14,712 EXHIBITS : 1.

RAUTENKRANZ, City Clerk ( SEAL) Exhibit 1 2 October 13, 1987 i' n TO : DAVID BRADSTREET, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECT ' FROM: DOUG DUNCANSON, PARKS SUPERINTENDENT SAN MARCOS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AGREEMENT The San Marcos Unified School District Administration staff has contacted the City of Carlsbad regarding: A change to the City/School District Agreement. The San Marcos School District requests the City no longer perform maintenance duties around the La Costa Meadows School. The reason cited by the district was they feel their existing staff could perform the duties, thereby eliminating a $14,000 cost to them. The elimination of maintenance duties by the Parks and Recreation Staff will'require a change to Section 12 of the current San Marcos School District/City of Carlsbad Agreement. The existing Agreement, Section 12 reads as follows: "12. The City agrees to maintain the school's multi-use turfed areas and other landscaped areas around the school buildings. This excludes sweeping or landscape maintenance in the school parking lot. City maintenance will include mowing, edging, pruning, trimming, ferti- lizing and irrigation repair. The City will not provide replacement of irrigation supplies or trash pick-up. The District will provide trash containers and bins. Any materials for turf or landscape renovation will be supplied by the District. The District will be billed bi-annually. The cost of maintenance will not exceed $14,000 in the first year. Each year during the month of June, the District and City shall mutually agree on the cost of maintenance for the next fiscal year. The current costs for turfed areas will be 8C per square foot for turfed areas and 11C per square foot for the landscaped areas. The amount is: a. Turfed areas - 8C per square foot b. Landscaped areas - 11C per square foot x 76,000 square feet = $ 6,080 x 71,000 square feet = $ 7,810 TOTAL $13,890 (I Exhibit 2 3 Oct 13, 1987 Dave Bradstreet Page Two (L- ? The changes to Section 12 are proposed to be as follows: "12. The San Marcos Unified School District agrees to maintain the following areas: a. The landscaped areas around and adjacent to school buildings. b. The school parking lot and street frontage along Fuerte Street, c. The slope banks extending from the hardcourt areas to the field areas. d. The slope bank along Corintia Street, from the chain link fence extending down the bank, to the north. The City of Carlsbad agrees to maintain the following areas : a, The land owned by the City of Carlsbad known as Fuerte Park. b. The multi-use turf area that is part of La Costa Meadows. c. The slope bank extending down to the west from the multi-use turf area. Irrigation repair will be the responsibility of the agency owning the lines. There will be no compensation from one agency to the other for costs associated with maintenance or repair pursuant to this agreement. I' The approval of the changes to Section 12 will have the following effects on the Parks and Recreation Department: a. More time and manpower to provide maintenance duties at other new sites, b. Elimination of scheduling problems while providing maintenance around school buildings, c. Elimination of $14,000 revenue for City of Carlsbad. I recommend the City incorporate the suggested changes into the "Agreement for Maintenance and Use of the La Costa Meadows School Site, between the City of Carlsbad and the San Marcos Unified School District.
