Introduction
Proposition C was passed by the voters of Carlsbad in 2001 and
authorized the City Council to spend up to $35 million on four
projects of community interest, one of which was open space
and trail linkages.
The Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizen's
Committee, also known as the Open Space Committee, was
created by the City Council on October 18, 2005 with the
purpose of establishing priorities for open space property
acquisition and trail linkage projects and making
recommendations to the City Council on potential candidate
acquisitions and projects for future expenditures.
The Committee met from February 2006 through January 2007,
reviewing pertinent open space and trails documents and
maps, touring open space areas within the City, and engaging
in discussions with interested members of the public.
This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of
the Committee and contains the property acquisition
proposals, staff analysis, and related background information.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ADOPT City Council Resolution No. 2005-312 CREATING THE
Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizen's Advisory Committee and APPOINTING
citizens to membership of said committee.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On several previous occasions, the City Council had discussed the creation of an Open Space
Citizens Committee. The context for these discussions related primarily to the passage of
Proposition C (copy attached), which listed open space acquisition and trail linkages as one of the
projects that the citizens authorized the City to fund. The creation of the committee was put on hold
until the City's Habitat Management Plan (HMP) was approved by state and federal wildlife agencies.
Now that the HMP is approved and the City is in the process of fully implementing the Plan, the City
Council may want to create and make appointments to the Committee.
Staff has reviewed the potential role, work product, and duration of the Committee and has derived
some recommendations. It is recommended that the Committee's role be the establishment of a
priority system to select future open space properties for acquisition and potential trail linkage
projects. The work product would then be a list of potential acquisition parcels and trail projects,
along with justifications for their acquisition/construction, for consideration and selection by the City
Council. The duration of the Committee would be a function of the frequency of meetings and would
range from a minimum of six months to a maximum of one year. It is recommended that the
Committee be disbanded after its presentation of potential acquisition properties and trail projects to
the City Council.
One outstanding issue needing direction from the City Council is the amount of funds available for
open space property acquisition and trail linkages. The total allocation of funds for the four projects
listed in Proposition C is $35 million. The project, as defined in the Proposition, lists both open space
acquisition and trail linkages however the proportion of $35 million total allocation set aside for the
open space/trail project has yet to be determined. Likewise, the proportion of fund allocation
between the open space and trail components of the project is not established.
With regard to fund allocation, Staff is recommending two options. One option would involve the City
Council establishing the amount of Proposition C funding available for the open space/trails project
up front and allowing the Committee to prioritize the potential open space property acquisition and
trail linkage projects based upon that funding limit. Another option would involve the Committee
deriving a list of potential open space property acquisitions and trail linkage projects based purely on
the derived prioritization criteria, without consideration of cost. The City Council would then decide
on the proportion of Proposition C funding for the open space/trail project at a later date, perhaps
based in part on the property acquisition opportunities.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The creation of the committee and appointment of members does not constitute a "projecf under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no environmental review is required. Depending on
the current zoning and General Plan land use designations of the potential acquisition properties, or
the location and extent of the potential trail projects, some level of environmental review may be
PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 18,315
necessary concurrent with any necessary Zone Changes, General Plan Amendments or other
required permits that implement the land acquisition or trail construction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As stated in the Proposition, the funds proposed for allocation for Proposition C projects comes from
the City's General Fund. The amount allocated and the remaining amounts are shown below. The
amount of funding available for the open space/trails project has not been established.

In addition to the acquisition costs, there will be costs for the ongoing maintenance of any open

recommends that the allocation for administrative costs not exceed $5,000 and that the maintenance
costs be addressed when the properties are identified.

RE: Item 7: Proposition "C" Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizens'
Advisory Committee
Dear Mayor Lewis and Members of the City Council:
The Building Industry Association of San Diego County represents 1,460
member companies comprising a workforce of 165,000 San Diegans. We
support the city's efforts move forward with implementation of the
Habitat Management Plan (HMP). We request that the formation of the
Ad Hoc Citizens' Advisory Committee include landowners and members
of the business community to ensure a balanced perspective on the issues
of prioritizing open space acquisition and trails.
It is also important that the role of the advisory committee be confined to
these two HMP issues and that me committee avoids making
recommendations on specific development projects before the city. We
request that this be clearly defined in fhe committee's charter.
Thank you for this opportunity to provide input on the formation of the
Citizens' Advisory Committee. We look forward to the successful
implementation of the HMP.
Very truly yours/
Scott C. Molloyy

CITY MGR. (JL/ —
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2006-294 ACCEPTING the ranking
criteria and public outreach program developed by the Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad
Hoc Citizen's Advisory Committee and EXTEND the term of the Committee.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On October 18, 2005, the City Council created the Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad
Hoc Citizen's Committee (also known as the Open Space Committee). The stated purpose of
the Committee was to establish priorities for open space property acquisition and trail linkage
projects and make recommendations to the City Council on potential candidate acquisitions and
projects for future expenditures. In addition, the City Council directed staff to ensure that the
Committee received all relevant materials and background information necessary to make
informed recommendations.
The Committee has met regularly since its first meeting in February 2006 and members of the
public have attended and participated in all meetings. After establishing norms and operating
agreements, the Committee received presentations and materials from staff and the public
regarding the intent and contents of many relevant open space and trails documents including,
but not limited to; the Habitat Management Plan (HMP), Open Space and Conservation
Resource Management Plan (OSCRMP), and Citywide Trails Program.
The Committee also received aerial photo exhibits of the entire City, with pertinent HMP and
trail overlay information and, in a workshop format, compared this information to the locations of
existing and potential future private and public development projects. Once the Committee
members were familiar with the relevant policy and regulatory documents and the geographical
scope of open space and trail opportunities within the City, staff conducted Committee member
open space tours of the City to connect the documents and exhibits with field experiences.
Based upon the information provided, the Committee reviewed potential criteria for use in
ranking the candidate properties for acquisition. These criteria, described in the attached
report, closely follow the relevant documents such as the HMP, OSCRMP and Trails Program.
They include items such as the provision of biological connectivity, service of both habitat
preservation and trail linkage purposes, and the presence of special plant or animal
species/habitat listed in the HMP. Each potential open space and/or trail linkage property will
be evaluated using these criteria and then ranked based upon that evaluation.

Page 2 - Report on Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizens Committee
and Request for Term Extension
Provided that the Council accepts the proposed ranking criteria and public outreach program
discussed in the attached report, the Committee is now prepared to gather a list of candidate
properties for acquisition and process that list through the ranking process. While staff will
provide a list of possible candidate properties, it is important to allow the public to offer
suggestions of potential acquisition properties. Therefore, a proposed public outreach program
has been developed; this program is detailed in the attached report and staff has already
received several inquiries from the public on how to propose potential properties for
consideration.
Once the public outreach program has concluded and a list of properties is prepared, the
Committee will rank these properties and prepare a report for the City Council recommending
candidate property acquisitions. Included in this report will be an analysis of possible funding
sources outside of the Proposition C funds (such as direct grants from the Wildlife Agencies or
partnerships with non-profit organizations) and an evaluation of the likelihood of the applicability
of these funds for each property.
Given that the Committee is set to expire on October 18, 2006, there is a need to extend the
term of the Committee to allow for the public outreach program, to evaluate and rank the
candidate properties, and prepare a recommendation report for City Council. After review of
the necessary tasks and events, the Committee determined that the proposed expiration date of
January 31, 2007 would allow adequate time for completion of their responsibilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The request for acceptance of the report and extension of the term of the Committee will not
produce any fiscal impacts, in that the Committee members serve without compensation and
the remaining funds budgeted for the administrative support of the Committee are sufficient to
cover all anticipated costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The request for acceptance of the report and extension of the term of the Committee does not
constitute a project, as defined by Section 15378 of the State California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) Guidelines, and therefore no environmental documentation is necessary.

Report on the Proposition C Open Space and
Trails Ad Hoc Citizen's Advisory Committee
Proposed Ranking Criteria and Public Outreach
Program
The Proposition C Open Space and Trails Ad Hoc Citizen's Committee (also
known as the Open Space Committee) was created to establish priorities for
open space property acquisition and trail linkage projects and make
recommendations to the City Council on potential candidate acquisitions and
projects for future expenditures from a portion of the Proposition C funding.
Background and Ranking Criteria
The Committee has reviewed the City's General Plan Open Space and
Conservation Element of the General Plan, Open Space and Conservation
Resource Management Plan (OSCRMP), Habitat Management Plan (HMP), and
Citywide Trails Program. The Committee members have also reviewed aerial
photography mapping and the locations of existing and potential future
developments and have conducted field trips of open space areas within the City.
Based upon this information and public input received at several Open Space
Committee meetings, the Committee derived a system and criteria for evaluating
and ranking the potential open space and trail properties. The goal of the
Committee was to design a system that was simple and transparent with criteria
relevant to the purpose. Therefore a list of priorities or criteria was developed by
the Committee and each member ranked these criteria in order of importance.
The individual rankings were coalesced into a master list. The criteria in the
master list were organized into three groups of differing importance and ranked
within those groups. Each criterion was then given a numerical value, as shown
below. The list provided below offers a brief description of the criteria; a more
detailed description, with examples, would be provided with the public outreach
materials.
Group A
• Contains narrow endemics, vernal pools, and other
species of special interest: 24
• Provides connectivity of biological/wildlife corridors: 23
• Serves both habitat and trail linkage purposes: 22
• Provides for trails or trail linkages: 21
• Contains native habitat: 20
7
Proposed Ranking Criteria and Public Outreach Program
Septerr
Page 2
September 29,2006 ^\
Group B
• Meets multiple priorities contained in the OSCRMP: 14
• Located within the HMP Focus Planning Area: 13
• Located within or adjacent to existing HMP preserve system: 12
• Type of habitat is priority in HMP (e.g. wetlands, riparian): 11
Group C
Contains paleontological, archeological, cultural resources: 5
Provides connectivity of scenic or other open spaces: 4
Enhances water quality: 3
Property not in need of habitat rehabilitation/revegetation: 2
Possesses special or unique circumstances 1
The ranking process would involve assessing if the potential candidate properties
possess the criteria listed above and, if so, the property would be awarded the
corresponding point value. All awarded point values would be summed for each
property and then ranked, with the highest point total being the top priority
acquisition.
The Open Space Committee considered, but did not include, several other
criteria. For example, the criteria do not include whether the property owner is
willing to sell the property for open space or trail purposes. The Committee
decided that a property owner's willingness to sell can be based upon many
factors which may change over time or in different circumstances. Therefore, the
willingness of the seller would be considered when the actual acquisition of the
property is investigated.
Another criterion not included deals with the availability of additional funding
sources. While staff has identified many supplemental funding sources, these
monies require application and/or coordination with other organizations and the
availability of these funding sources is difficult to ascertain. Once the list of
potential property acquisitions is assembled by the Committee, staff will provide
an analysis on the potential alternative funding opportunities for each property;
this analysis will accompany the list of property acquisition recommendations to
the City Council.
Public Outreach Program
In order to gather a comprehensive list of potential open space and trail
acquisition properties, staff and the Committee are recommending a public
outreach program. While staff will provide a list of possible candidate properties,
it is important to allow the public to offer suggestions of potential acquisition
Proposed Ranking Criteria and Public Outreach Program

properties. Staff has already received several inquiries from the public on how to
proposQ.gptential properties for consideration.
The proposed public outreach program would involve newspaper advertisements
and articles, a press release on the City website, an announcement with
application process information on the Planning Department webpage, postings
at the Planning Department front counter, and mailings to interested parties. As
stated above, staff has already begun receiving requests for application
information and these individuals, along with local and state conservancy groups
and organizations, would be included in the mailing list.
The basic information needed for a proposal would include property identification
(address or Assessor's Parcel Number), a list of which criteria apply to the
property, and a discussion on how the property meets those criteria. Additional
information, such as aerial photographs or biological surveys, could also be
submitted if available.
The proposed duration of the public outreach program is 30 days. Provided that
the City Council accepts the proposed ranking criteria and public outreach
program, the process can start on October 18 and end on November 17, 2006.
The Open Space Committee would meet in early December 2006 to evaluate
and rank the candidate properties. Given this schedule, the Committee
recommendation could be presented to City Council in early January 2007.

Committee Members Present: Marty Montgomery, Dennis Villavicencio, Carl
Miller, Leonard Martyns, Joel Altshul, Saundra
Cima and Fred Sandquist
Staff Members Present: Mike Grim, Senior Planner
Theresa Brassington
Also Present: Jim Boylan, Facilitator
APPROVAL OF MINUTES AND CHARTERED NOTED:
Previous minutes were unavailable for approval.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Chair Montgomery opened up the meeting to public comments on items not on
the agenda. There was no comment.
PRESENTATION OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATE PROPERTIES:
Mr. Grim thanked the Committee for their diligent work towards the summation of
potential property candidates. Jim Boylan reviewed the ground rules for meeting
conduct and the decision making process. He noted that due to the large
number of properties to be presented, all comments should be limited to fifteen
minutes. He reiterated that the Committee has tried to create an objective
analysis of the properties and that the purpose of the meeting was for
informational dialogue and not debate. The Committee's rank and order scores
Page 2
for each property would be presented to the City Council and the Council
meeting would be the forum for debate.
Mr. Grim asked the Committee if they prefer the ranking system be based on
consensus opinion or a simple majority. Mr. Villavicencio stated that reaching a
consensus would be the goal, but if that was not possible then a 75% majority
would suffice.
RANKING OF CANDIDATE PROPERTIES:
Mr. Grim reviewed the background of the Committee's charter as well as the
committee members' research on available properties. Each committee
member had individually reviewed the criteria and jointly created a ranking point
system to analyze the properties. There were three major categories ranging in
descending order from A-C. "A" category criteria had the highest ranking points
and contain the following: biological corridors, both habitat and trail linkages,
and narrow endemic species and native habitat. Other criteria in the "B" and "C"
categories include location within or adjacent to the HMP preserve area or
contains rare habitat types such as wetlands or riparian areas. Other criteria
included rehabilitation requirements, archeology and paleontology resources.
The information requirements for property proposal submissions were available
to the public and posted on the City web site and bulletin boards. Proposed
properties needed to include property analysis in order to qualify on the list. A
large number of e-mails were received in support of the preservation of Village H
within the Calavera Hills Master Plan.
There were 13 proposed properties with adequate background information and
analysis available. The Committee reviewed each proposal and voted on a final
score for each property. Complete descriptions of each property are available
separately.
Sherman Property
Diane Nygaard, Nighthawk Way, Oceanside, stated that the Sherman Property is
located within the HMP focus Planning Area Core and provides trail and habitat
linkages. It contains a creek and priority wetland habitat. Ms. Nygaard stated
that the property is now in escrow and the majority of funds came from the state
and federal funding sources, such as the Federal Wildlife Foundation. Preserve
Calavera was now requesting that the City purchase trail linkages, not the entire
property.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 173 point score.
Page3
South Coast Quarry property.
Brian Milich from Corky McMillan Co. stated that McMillan Co. is currently doing
their own environmental analysis of the Quarry property. He stated that he
hadn't had the opportunity to review the current property report. He wanted the
committee to compare McMillan's report to the current report. He also noted that
a portion of the property would already be set aside as open space easement.
Kasey Cincirelli stated that the property is an important watershed and filters
local water leading to the ocean. She also noted that the property is slated for
high density development if it is not acquired. Diane Nygaard stated that the
property is part of the State mining reclamation funds and could be restored with
state funds. She noted that half of the property contains native habitat and
provides wildlife corridors. Dennis Villavicencio asked what the purchase price
would be. Ms. Nygaard stated that they didn't have an exact price at this time.
She noted that the Sherman property was acquired for $60,000 per acre.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 175 point score.
Calavera Hills Village H
Village H property provides linkage to core wildlife habitat areas and lies within
the HMP preserve. The parcel contains narrow endemics, such as the California
Gnatcatcher, Cooper's Hawk, and Orange Throated Whiptail. The property also
provides wildlife corridors and habitat and trail linkages. In addition the site has a
high potential for fossil content. Eugenia Orlowski stated that the property has
already gone through the entitlement process. Part of the property is already set
aside but it will need habitat enhancement. Brian Milich of Corky McMillan stated
that habitat land has already been set aside but the developer would prefer not to
have maintenance obligations on the property.
The Committee voted 6-1, with Martyns dissenting, to approved the 173 point
score.
Carlsbad Unified School District High School Site
Diane Nygaard stated that now that the Bond was approved, the school district is
going through with the high school project development. It was proposed to
acquire any portion of the site that is excess to the planned use. Public
agencies will have the first right to purchase the excess land. The property has
native endemic species and trail linkages.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 168 point score.
Page 4
Kato Property:
-?
Diane Nygard stated that the property is a multi-generation property with cultural
resources. The parcel is designated as Critical Habitat for the endangered
Gnatcatchers. There are wetlands and native habitat on site.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 168 point score.
Mandano Property:
Diane Nygard stated that the land was originally purchased by a developer and
could be developed if not preserved. It is designated as Critical Habitat for the
Gnatcatcher and has wetlands and on site. It is a major habitat preserve and
provides wildlife connectivity and trail linkages. She noted that even a small
amount of building development would greatly impact the existing endangered
species and habitat. Mr. Montgomery noted that a local Native Indian tribe may
have previously occupied the property. He also said that this property is a critical
parcel for habitat connectivity. Carl Miller stated that the property is more critical
than the 168 point score would suggest. Mr. Villavicencio noted that it would be
a good idea to include an addendum to the City Council that this property is
critical for habitat connectivity.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 168 point score with an addendum .,:
comment to the Council regarding the importance of this property with regard to
habitat linkage.
Mr. Jim Boylan noted that the Committee could add two types of comments. The
Mandano addendum could be a consensus comment to the City Council.
Dissenting individual comments could also be noted to the Council.
Lubliner Property:
Diane Nygaard noted that this proposal only involves the City wide trail alignment
shown in the Trails Master Plan. The property contains special species and
native habitats and provides for trail linkages.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 156 point score
Rancho Carlsbad Property:
Diane Nygaard stated that this a small five to seven acre parcel. Ms. Nygaard
says that they are seeking to preserve the small amount of land to add to the
existing trail linkages. The parcel is also in close proximity to the high school site
and is within the HMP focus area.
PageS
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 156 point score.
Brodiaea Preserve:"
Mike Grim stated that the two acre property is located within the HMP Hardline
Preserve but is not located within or near the City wide trail system. It does
contain Brodiaea filifolia, a narrow endemic species of interest. The property is
currently in bankruptcy and has been offered to the City, therefore no acquisition
costs would be incurred. There would be ongoing costs involved in the
management and biological monitoring.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 82 point score.
Palomar Airport Property:
Diane Nygaard stated that the parcel contains native species and habitat and
provides connectivity. Ms. Nygaard also noted that the site provides wildlife
corridors and contains high quality native habitat. Mountain lion scat was found
on the parcel two years ago. The parcel also provides trail linkages. The
property has been used for recreation and mountain biking. She also noted that
they are looking at only the portion of land north of Faraday. Saundra Cima
asked if the property acquisition would incur maintenance costs. Mr. Grim noted
that the City would seek an open space easement rather than fee title ownership.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 170 point score.
Murphy Property:
Mike Grim stated that both the Murphy and Mitsuuchi properties are located on
the Batiquitos Lagoon and share similar attributes. The Murphy property is the
most western property on the north eastern side of the lagoon. Mr. Grim said
that the property provides a critical trail linkage and provides unique lagoon
habitat. Preservation of the property would establish the linkage between the
lagoon and the upland corridor. The property is within the HMP hardline habitat
preserve system. He noted that although there were narrow endemic species on
site, no biological studies were available and full points for endemic species were
not awarded. Fred Sandquist noted that the wetland area is a breeding ground
for endangered species and birds.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 143 point score.
Mitsuuchi Property:
Mike Grim stated that the property fronts on the Batiquitos Lagoon and is part of
the HMP preserve and also provides upland habitat adjacent to the lagoon. The
site would establish the linkage between the lagoon and the upland corridor.
Page6
The site contains riparian and wetland habitat as well as coastal sage scrub and
maritime succulent scrub. The property is next to wetland and contains drainage
area to enhance water quality. The parcel also offers scenic views from arterial
roadways and buffers the lagoon from nearby development.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 145 point score.
Poinsettia Vernal Pools:
Mike Grim stated that the property contains wetlands and vernal pools and is
within the NCTD right-of-way and HMP Special Resource Area No. 2. The
proposal would be for a conservation easement and management of the property
since property ownership would remain with NCTD. Mr. Villavicencio noted that
vernal pools are a rare and valuable resource.
The Committee voted 7-0 to approve the 102 point score.
DISCUSSION OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA SCHEDULING:
The Committee agreed to set the next meeting for January 12 at 11am in order to
approve the previous meeting minutes and review the City Council Agenda Bill
and final recommendations.
CLOSING PUBLIC COMMENT:
Diane Nygaard reminded the Committee of the importance of preserving the
parcels that provide intact wildlife habitat and connectivity and she noted that
property values do increase after the entitlement process is completed.
ADJOURNMENT:
Chairman Montgomery made a motion to adjourn, which was seconded Dennis
Villavicencio.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Chair Montgomery opened up the meeting to public comments on items not on the
agenda.
Minette Ozaki of Del Mat, suggested that the City consider purchasing trail easements
on the Carlsbad Oaks North property. She noted that the property provides mountain
bike trails, hiking and recreational uses. She added that the property could serve
multiple purposes as recreational open space and trails.
Dr. Martyns noted that he would like Ms. Ozaki's comments to be added to the final
report given to Council. All five members were in favor.
Mel Vernon, of the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians, commented that the City
should consider the cultural and historical aspects of the proposed properties. He
noted that the cities don't appreciate the importance of preserving the past and
educating the present generation on local Indian culture. He felt that the historical and
Page 2
cultural aspects had been minimized and should have been given higher ranking points.
He pointed out that the Sherman Property and El Salto Falls had high cultural value that
would benefit the community.
Chairman Montgomery noted that the El Salto Falls property was highly ranked on the
priority list. Carl Miller added that the quarry has been significantly altered and would
require rehabilitation. He further noted that it is near unique wildlife habitat and is worth
preserving. He compared open space to the golf course and noted that open space and
trails are a resource available to all.
REVIEW OF PROPERTY PROFILES AND RANKINGS:
Mike Grim reviewed the thirteen properties and their proposed rankings.
The property rankings were revised after new archeological information was included.
The final points ranking order was:
South Coast Quarry 175

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Shelly Hayes Carron, residing in the Marron Adobe, stated that the Hanson's
reclamation of the quarry site has been successful and that the site should be used for
public trails, recreation and bike paths. She stated that the unique habitat and historical
attributes of the property could make it a destination site for visitors. She thanked the
community at large for donating funds to save the property.
Diane Nygaard, of Oceanside, thanked the committee for their work and property
research. She also distributed a flyer from the Truckee Land Trust, which charges hotel
guests a dollar contribution towards the open space and trails maintenance.
Don Christiansen, of Carlsbad, added that he thought that El Salto Falls, Buena Vista
Creek and Calavera Village "H" were all top priority properties. He asked what he could
do to encourage the city to purchase these properties. Chair Montgomery suggested
that the public can show up at council meetings and make their case there.
Mel Vernon, of San Luis Rey Indian Tribe, noted that El Salto Falls is a sacred Indian
site registered with the State Commission. He commented that in the past historical
sites were bulldozed over to make way for buildings but that hopefully we have evolved
and recognize the importance of saving our past and culture.

CLOSING REMARKS:
Chair Montgomery thanked the public for their comments and participation. He thanked
them for researching properties and providing information and insight. Dr. Martyns
added that the Mitsuuchi and Murphy properties didn't have adequate information on
their environmental aspects and didn't get full credit for their unique attributes. He asked
Mr. Grim to include environmental information on the two properties to be added as an
addendum to the council's report.
Dr. Martyns recommended forwarding the current ranking list plus,the addendum to the
Council. He also suggested that the Council would greatly benefit from informational
workshop to review and visit the properties. Sandra Cima seconded Dr. Martyn's
suggestion. All members were in favor.
Sandra Cima concurred and stated that it was very helpful to go out and see each
property. Fred Sandquist added that visiting the lagoons gives one a better appreciation
for the habitat diversity there. He noted that the lagoons add important scenic vistas that
all can enjoy and improve our quality of life.
Carl Miller said that he has been a Carlsbad resident since the 1940's and that he
remembers when the Carlsbad Mall \$as an open space ;with a bird breeding preserve.
He stated that he has seen so much development over the .decades and that he would
like to preserve the unique habitat areas still left in Carlsbad.
Chair Montgomery stated that Carlsbad citizens have a duty to preserve lagoons that
lead to the ocean. Dr. Martyns added that he feels good about helping to preserve
Carlsbad's open space and quality of life.
ADJOURNMENT:
Chairman Montgomery made a motion to adjourn, which was seconded by Dr. Martyns.
Chair Montgomery noted that the committee will officially sunset on January 31, 2007
and concluded the last Open Space Committee meeting.
