Over the years, I have seen a lot of changes, most due to the expansion and growth of our little town. I have also observed many of the problems that come with growth and expansion, such as: homeless street people sleeping in the church zHey beside my hol;sa ar;d "doingj what people do" in the same alley or in my yard; organized gangs strolling Harding and Jefferson streets spraying graffiti wherever they please and hanging-out nightly at the Jack-in-the-Box; an auto theft and residential burglary rate that gives me pause when I want to leave town even for overnight. I could go on. regarding the new dog ban initiated by Mrs. Kulchin. To ban dogs from all city owned land (and, I take that to mean sidewalks and streets in the strictest interpretation) is not only discriminatory but also unreasonable. I am a responsible dog owner. My dog is licensed and tagged. I carry my cleanup equipment with me on our walks. We enjoy our daily walk to the beach and on the beach. I very rarely see dog waste on the beach or elsewhere in around town. However, I have found numerous beer cans, broken glass, Styrofoam containers, plastic sixpack rings and the ever present Pampers. I think we must set our priorities. To single out dog waste is to pretend that there is no litter problem in Carlsbad. minded. laws would seem to me to be the fair way to go. All of the above makes me feel somewhat frivolous writing to you That, in itself, is frivolous and narrow A Cleanup Law for dog owners and enforcement of current litter Thank You for your time.

Q" I b -- 8.- t ’ - 01 March 1989 Dog Ordinance Committee c/o Ms. Lynn Chase 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Public Meeting Notice Carlsbad Dog Ordinance Dear Dog Ordinance Committee: As the human population has grown in Carlsbad, the quality of life has steadily deteriorated. There are now very few places one can find open land and even fewer with open land and water to use and enjoy. Dogs have been an integral part of human life since before recorded history. They have proven their worth over an over throughout history by protecting their masters and others, helping the blind have mobility, providing companionship for the elderly and lonely and giving their lives when necessary to save their human family members, etc. Dogs certainly deserve to not be totally excluded from beaches and parks just because a few careless humans have stepped in dog feces. Regarding sanitation, the real danger comes from the exploding human growth which dumps more and more sewage into the ocean all the time. Its time human beings learned they are just one of a large number of animal species living on this planet, and othzr species have rights too. The only hope for continued survival of life on earth is for humans to learn to control thei; population and live in harmony with nature instead of consuming everything they can find and destroying the environment with innumerable kinds of pollution. Instead of banning dogs from beaches and parks we can restrict the areas where dogs are allowed. This works well in Cardiff and Del Mar. Each city park can have a designated area for dogs and allow them access to the beach from Cannon Road, south to the city beach limit and from the beach access steps at the north end of Ocean Street to the Oceanside city beach limit.
