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. cc: Mayor Buddy Lewis Julie Nygaard Matt Hall Ann Kulchin Ramona Finnila Bob Johnson . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2 e: 25 26 27 28 RESOLUTION NO. 2000-334 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, ACCEPTING A CASH DONATION OF $8,000 IN SUPPORT OF THE NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT BUS SERVICE.
