Mayor Pro Tem Kulchin is asking the City Council to consider supporting a
comprehensive children's service center in the North San Diego County. A

police officers, to a facility in Hillcrest. This resolution supports the
construction of a childrens' service center in North County to avoid
transporting these children to San Diego and to provide more comprehensive
services for the'entire family.

that are nearby and easily accessible; and

in all areas of San Diego County have overwhelmingly taxed the
system; and

services for children who have been placed at risk, would be better
able to serve the families at risk, and

in South San Diego County; and
WHEREAS, we have a private non-profit organization in North
San Diego County who are seeking funds from the private sector to

transporting the young victims to the receiving home in South San
Diego County; and

eliminating the long ride to South San Diego County facility; and

dedicating a two hour round trip to South County; and
WHEREAS, we have been able to provide some level of service
to all people in the County in the past, we now must look at the
increased number of reported child abuse cases and the need to
address the means by which we can more efficiently provide services

families.

City of Carlsbad supports the siting of a comprehensive Children and
Family Service Center in Kurth San Diego County.
