MONTHLY REPORT FOR MAY-JUNE 1990
The Community Garage Sale on Saturday, June 2nd had 86 vendors with over 1,400
participants at Holiday Park. Anything from bric-a-brac to unique dog hats were
available at the sale. In a charitable effort, much of what was left at the
day's end was given to needy families here in Carlsbad.
Preparation for Carlsbad Triathlon 90 is currently underway. Volunteers are
being rounded up, and staff members are working together for perfect coordination
of the biggest event in Carlsbad, scheduled for Sunday, July 8th.
In our Sports Division, the Youth Sports section is preparing for the Youth
Summer Volleyball and Basketball Camps sponsored in conjunction with the
Fieldstone Company. We expect about 250 youngsters to enjoy our camps this
summer. The first phase of the Carlsbad Invitational Basketball Tournament will
take place over the weekend of June 22-23rd at the Calavera Hills Community Park.
This tournament brings together eight (8) San Diego County area boys' basketball
teams with boys from ages 15 to 17 competing. Adult Sports' Softball playoffs
are currently in progress and will continue over the next two weeks with 70 teams
vying for those championship trophies.
The Golf Course Steering and Technical Advisory Committees are considering what
type and size of auxiliary facilities should be included in Carlsbad's golf
course project. Considerations include the type of club house, practice areas,
and size of the driving range. Meanwhile, staff is conducting an inventory of
golf course facilities in the County in order to meet any specific needs Carlsbad
might have. P & D Technologies, the environmental consultants, did not identify
any endangered flora or fauna on the site. So far, the preliminary plan is
progressing as scheduled.
Our Parks Crews have been busy preparing Calavera, Stagecoach, and Magee Parks
so that we can enjoy this Summer's Concert on the Green series. All concerts
will be on Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m. beginning June 29th at Calavera Hills.
Fliers of concert dates and times are available from the Arts Office. Even with
the Stage II Water Alert we are able to hold the concerts for yet another summer.
In order to conserve water, our Parks Division has turned off the fountain in
downtown Carlsbad and also reprogrammed the irrigation controllers throughout
all City parks for watering between the hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. only. Parks
crews are also working together with the Street crews to rootprune and repair
sidewalks in the Redevelopment area.
The 8th Annual Carlsbad Barbecue sponsored by the Big Bang Committee and the
Carlsbad Journal will be held at Holiday Park on June 23rd. Admission is $5,
and proceeds go to the 4th of July fireworks display off Carlsbad Boulevard.
Hope to see you al>~there!
