RE: DONATION FOR BUS BENCHES
Dear Mr. Patchett:
As you are aware, in July we submitted a letter to Mayor Lewis, the City Council
members and yourself, stating that our companies would like to make a donation
to the City of Carlsbad to aid in the purchase and installation of bus benches.
Shea Homes and Fieldstone communities are constructing transit oriented
communities in the Poinsettia Properties Specific Plan. We believe that anything
that can be done to make it easier for Carlsbad residents to utilize North County
Transit District’s bus service should be done. Shea Homes would like to donate
$6,000.00 and Fieldstone Communities would like to donate $2,000.00 toward
the cost of bus benches.
Per the direction of Bob Johnson of the City of Carlsbad, Engineering
Department, we are requesting that our donations be scheduled on the next
available City Council meeting agenda so that we may present our checks to the
City. Please have someone from your office call us and let us know once our
offer has been scheduled for a City Council meeting.
