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:

feedback.
