AB# 18,171 TITLE:
MTG. 0611 4/05 REVISION TO CITY COUNCIL POLICY #28 -
“RECREATION DEPARTMENT
DEPT. Recreation FACILITY USE REGULATIONS” CITY MGR~
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If City Council concurs with the proposed amendments, adopt Resolution No. 2005-192 amending
Council Policy #28 to incorporate proposed revisions to the Recreation Department Facility Use
Regulations.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
City Council Policy #28 governs the Recreation Department Facility Use Rules and Regulations, and
as such, any amendments, additions or revisions to the policy require City Council Approval.
Staff is currently proposing several revisions to the Facility Use Regulations (EXHIBIT 3) since they
were last amended in June 2003. Perhaps the most notable changes to the policy are the addition of a
Sportsmanship Program Criteria, and incorporating the Senior Center rules within the context of
Council Policy #28. These changes are outlined below.
In addition to general housekeeping amendments, a change in facility rental cancellation is
recommended. In the event of a cancellation less than 30 days in advance the applicant will forfeit all
rental fees paid. Cancellations received at least 30 days prior to the rental date will be charged a $50
cancellation fee. The $50 cancellation fee will be taken from the cleaning/damage deposit and the
balance of the cleaning deposit will be refunded.
SPORTSMANSHIP CRITERIA
With respect to the Sportsmanship Program criteria, the Parks and Recreation Commission initially
brought the issue and importance of sportsmanship in our programs before staff in 2001. At their
request, the Recreation Department developed a sportsmanship program modeled after a nationally
acclaimed campaign entitled “National Alliance for Youth Sports”. The City of Carlsbad’s
sportsmanship initiative is entitled the “T.R.U .S.T.” program whose acronym stands for Teaching
Respect, Unity, and Sportsmanship through Teamwork. Although the program is quite comprehensive,
in general terms, it promotes the philosophy and importance of good sportsmanship and insures that
Carlsbad Recreation programs and facilities are, and will remain safe places to gather. Accordingly, a
Facility Rental Sportsmanship Program criteria statement has been developed and is recommended to
be incorporated within Council Policy #28. If Council concurs with inclusion of the criteria statement,
all outside sports organizations that request to rent Carlsbad facilities must conform to the intent of the
following sportsmanship statement:
“In order to promote the importance of good sportsmanship and insure that Carlsbad
Recreation Programs and Facilities are, and will remain safe places to gather, all sports organizations that request to use City recreation facilities are required to provide their
membership with appropriate sportsmanship training.
Prior to approval of facility rental applications andlor priority registration, Recreation
Department staff will review the sportsmanship training programs used by the individual
organizations.
All organizations not promoting a sportsmanship program as part of their organizational
activities must sign a City of Carlsbad Recreation Department Code of Conduct prior to
obtaining authorization to utilize Carlsbad Recreation Facilities.
If organizations wanting to rent Carlsbad Recreation Facilities do not have active
sportsmanship programs, department staff can be made available to give presentations on
Carlsbad’s T.R.U.S.T. program. The acronym T.R.U.S.T. stands for Teaching Respect, Unity,
and Sportsmanship through Teamwork and it promotes the philosophy of good
sportsmanship which is actively engaged by the City of Carlsbad in its’ recreation programs.”

SENIOR CENTER RULES AND REGULATIONS
With respect to the addition of the Senior Center Rules and Regulations, even though that
facility has maintained a separate identity outside the governance of Council Policy #28 since
its opening in 1989, many of the rules and regulations for rental of the Senior Center mirror
those of other City Recreation facilities. Although the Senior Center will continue to maintain its’
own identity, in an effort to streamline Citywide Facility Rules and Regulations under one policy,
Staff is recommending to incorporate the Senior Center within the context of Council Policy #28.
PARKS AND RECREATION/SENIOR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On April 18, 2005, staff presented the proposed Facility Rules and Regulations to the Parks and
Recreation Commission. During this meeting, the Commission voted unanimously and
recommended that the Council approve the changes to the Recreation Departments Facility
Rules and Regulations. In addition, the Senior Commission is also in accord with including the
Senior Center rules and regulations within Council Policy #28. If Council concurs with their
recommendation, it will require amending Council Policy #28 as noted in Exhibit 3.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is minimal fiscal impact in amending the Recreation Department Facility Use Regulations
as recommended by the Parks and Recreation and Senior Commissions.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution # 2005-1 92
2. Council Policy Statement #28
3. Amended as proposed, Facility Use Regulations (highlightktrikeout) - April 2005
