ITEM EXPLANATION : Citystuff is a collaboration between Junior Achievement and the City of Carlsbad to introduce third grade students to the city in which they live. Students learn about the role of government and what types of businesses are located in a typical city. Students complete five Junior Achievement “Our City” activities as well as two City of Carlsbad specific activities, which actively engage students in learning and fun. On October 28, 2003, Marilyn Campbell, CityStuff program coordinator, submitted a donation application to San Diego Foundations’ Dr. Seuss fund. On approximately December 15, 2003, the City was notified that the donation was approved for $5,000. This donation would be appropriated for the Citystuff program to help offset the City’s portion of the costs that include printing curriculum and instructor training. The donation of $5,000.00 will help offset the cost to the City for the Citystuff program, which is in congruence with Council’s goal of self-sufficiency. The Communications Office recommends acceptance by the City Council. The donation will be added to the Communication Office’s budget and appropriated for the Citystuff program. A letter of appreciation will be sent on behalf of the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no Fiscal Impact to the General Fund. EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution No. 2004-018.

The money will be used to print materials used by dedicated volunteer instructors who enter third-grade Carlsbad classrooms one hour a week for seven weeks to teach students about city government in a fun, memorable, hands-on way. Your organization’s sponsorship will help introduce a new generation of citizens to the operation, programs and services of our city while training them to become the informed, involved participants in local government that Carlsbad will need in the future. The next Citystuff session begins in Spring 2004 at many schools throughout Carlsbad, reaching classrooms in Carlsbad Unified, Encinitas Union and San Marcos Unified school districts. We greatly appreciate all sponsors and take pleasure in highlighting each contributor on curriculum packets, in a wide array of program publicity and via City Council recognition. Thank you again for joining the CityStuff team. Together, we can fulfill the program’s mission of “introducing students to their Carlsbad world.” Yours truly, Claude A.
