Dear Mayor: As you know, we have commenced several significant long-term programs which have far-reaching benefits for the citizens of Carlsbad. These programs, such as an annual exchange of ap- proximately 20 high school students and a 10-K event on the scale of the Carlsbad 5000, will augment such traditional activities as recently hosting 23 citizens from Futtsu. As we engage in such far-reaching projects, the members of 01 group share some anxiety. Specifically, we have some concer1 about our ability to remain effective and viable over the 101 term in our current organizational structure. Since it will take a sustained effort to insure the success of such extensj projects, any loss of efficacy over the long-term could be detrimental to these projects. Accordingly, to insure an appropriate level of continuity an( political clout, we recommend that the City of Carlsbad con- sider directly managing the activities of the Sister City Prc In our internal discussions, several suggestions have surface which may be worthy of your consideration. Given the culturz direction of our group, it might make sense to delegate this activity to the Carlsbad Arts Commission. Alternately, the Parks and Recreation Department could be responsible for the program. In any event, most of the member organizations wou: like to continue to participate on a voluntary basis and wou: take direction from and work with the appropriate city offic: 1200 Elm Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008 (619) 434-2847 .' , - e 0 9/13/89 Since we are at several important crossroads, the members of our committee would appreciate your earliest possible feedback.
