Eighteen local organizations were made charter members o the committee.

Cedola, in a letter to Mayor Lewis, dated September 11, 1989. The letter points out that during this past year it has become apparent that several ex- change visits from and to our Sister City will become regular events. The 10K event will be needed to provide operating funds on an annual basis. There is a continuing need for a contact point at City Hall to manage these events and programs. The current member organization would like to continue to participate on a voluntary basis, and would like to work with, and get direction from, an appropriate city official. Mr. Cedola's letter points out a concern that city staff has also had with the Sister City Program over the past couple of years: that is, considerable resources have been utilized from a number of city departments for this program which were not anticipated during the budget process. It is also apparent that the various organizational members of the Steering Committee vary in their ability to provide continuing support to the program. Recognizing the important mission statement of the Steering Committee: IIPromote a greater understanding and respect between the citizens of Carlsbad and its Sister City, Futtsu, Japan, by enriching the cultural and economic resources of each City" and experiencing the events over the last year in meeting this mission, it is apparent to staff that a change needs to be made. Staff recommends the formation of a Carlsbad Sister City Commit- tee (CSCC), with nine appointed members, to coordinate the Sister City Program. Some of the current voluntary members of the Steering Committee could remain involved through the CSCC. The committee would be staffed by the Community Arts Coordinator, a new position in the city's Arts Office. There is a need to budget for additional staff and resources to manage the program. In order for the Community Arts Coordinator to manage the Sister City Program, an additional part time clerical position would be required. Additionally, monies need to be budgeted for meals for visitors from Futtsu, gifts, and supplies/materials. I m a City Manager December 19, 1989 Page 2 A half-year budget, January-June 1990, would be as follows: Part time clerical $3,750 Materials/supplies 1,000 Gifts/meals 1,750 January/June Total: $6 , 500 If the City Council approves the creation of a Sister City Committee, a full year budget will be submitted for the 1990-91 fiscal year. That budget proposal would total approximately $15,000. CLIFFORD 6iif- E. LANGE Pab '. ! a a. MINUTES October 17, 1989 Page 5 ~~~~~ DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (Continued) Mr. Salmone stated that staff's reccmmendation was to remove the onstreet parking upon completion of these parklng lots. He added that if the lots are not opened until the middle of December, staff would recommend not eliminating the onstreet parking until after the Hol idays. In answer to Council query regarding the streetscape for Elm Avenue, Mr. Salcmone said that this is scheduled for the fall of 1990. George Willis, 539 Elm Avenue, addressed Council ln opposition to removing the onstreet parking upon cmp letion of the parking lots and suggesting that this consideration given to the merchants in the four and five hundred blocks of Elm Avenue. be done one year later, He felt there had been no Council consensus was to implement this Ordlnance after the Holldays, with ample warnings posted and Police enforcement. Council Member Larson felt the timing of the removal of the onstreet parking needed to be looked at, and suggested removing the park1 ng as the curb and gutter improvements are instal led. The construction would cause the removal of the parking and then as that moves on to another section of the street, the no parking wou Id be feft. He said he had a problem with the short term safety problem with the opening up of the four lanes. Mr. Larson said he felt it was essential to remove the parking on Elm Avenue, but would vote against this, as he believed it would be more appropriate to time the removal of the parking with the improvements on E Im Avenue. Council introduced the followlng Ordinance: ORDINANCE NO.

Adopt Resolution No. J&/Y , establishing the Sister City Steering Committee (SCSC) to be responsible for the Sister City Program in Carlsbad. ITEM EXPLANATION: In July 1986, Mayor Kurosaka of Futtsu, Japan invited Carlsbad tc become Futtsuls sister city. Since then, several Futtsu delega- tions have visited Carlsbad and met with City ,officials, staff ar 1 community leaders. With each visit, Futtsu officials have reiter 1 ated their interest in Carlsbad. A sister city affiliation with Futtsu would have many benefits tc offer Carlsbad, such as: encouraging educational exchanges. historic displays between the two cities. promote tourism, and strengthen international relationships. Youth Programs - establishing sister school linkages and Cultural Exchanges - sharing artistic, photographic and Trade and Commerce - encourage exchanges with businesses, t > 0 e a e 4 LL! 2 F 0 0 4 r! 0 z 3 0 0 Staff surveyed several cities in California to estimate the cost a sister city program. The cities of Carson, Vallejo and Pica Rivera budget between $5,000 and $12,000 annually for direct cosi including City-paid travel expenses for city representatives, meals, gifts, and charter bus transportation. In addition, stafj time needed to coordinate the program was significant among these cities. Because the City of Futtsu has exhibited a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and interest toward this sister city affiliation, it deserves a like amount of commitment and dedication. Therefore, the City Council wishes to accept Futtsu's invitation, it is recommended that a Sister City Steering Committee (SCSC) be established as an alternative to the City being solely responsib: for the Sister City Program. The SCSC could be advisory to the City Council and could be char1 with (i) planning and implementing programs which foster under- standing and goodwill between the citizens of Carlsbad and the management of the program, including all fundraising efforts to support the Sister City Program. . The SCSC could appear before the City Council annually to review the programs of the previous year and, recommend programs for the citizens of any duly designated sister city, and (ii) the financ, " 1 .L a -0 " - - coming year. Rather than individuals, it is proposed that the SCSC be composed of public and private organizations representing a cross-section o this community. Many organizations have expressed a willingness t participate on the SCSC, including the Chamber of Commerce, all three Rotary Clubs in the City, Hughes Aircraft, and Mitsubishi financial resources to make the Sister City Program an ongoing success. Each organization could be responsible for selecting its representative to the SCSC as well as any travel expenses of its members. Staff has discussed the Sister City Steering Committee with Mr. Peter Loan of Sister Cities International. He concurs that this i a reasonable and sound approach. Bank to name a few.
