RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2009-001 accepting a donation of one thousand, one hundred
and twenty five dollars ($1,125) from the KoKo Beach Restaurant to benefit the Carlsbad
Senior Center and to appropriate the received funds.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Since 1987, KoKo Beach restaurant owners Jeff King and Martin Kouma have conducted an
annual fundraiser to support the seniors of Carlsbad. Fundraising efforts include golf
tournaments and the sale of restaurant discount tickets with all the proceeds being donated to
the Carlsbad Senior Center to provide special programs and purchase equipment.
Now in its twenty-second year, the Koko Beach fundraiser offered to the public $5.00 discount
coupons for lunch or dinner during the month of October. Senior Center volunteers sold 225
discount coupons. Local citizens, seniors and regular KoKo Beach customers participated by
purchasing the discount coupons. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the
Carlsbad Senior Center.
On December 4, 2008 the Senior Commission received the above donation and
recommended acceptance by the City Council. A letter of appreciation has been sent on
behalf of the Recreation Department and the Carlsbad Senior Center to the KoKo Beach
restaurant owners.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $1,125 has been deposited into the Senior Program Donations Account and will benefit
Senior Center programs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines section this action
does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA and therefore, does not require
environmental review.

Dear Jeff and Martin,
On behalf of the Carlsbad Senior Center, I would like to thank you for your generous donation of
the discount tickets that made the 22nd Annual KoKo Beach Fund Raiser a huge success.
This year $1,125 was raised by a dynamic team of volunteers and staff, which is phenomenal
considering we had a week of "poor air quality" due to the fires. The $5.00-Off coupon provided
a wonderful opportunity for our seniors and their families to socialize and have a great meal. I
received so many compliments on the quality of the food and the great service of your staff. I
personally visited your restaurant three times and came away extremely pleased with my meal.
Also, the coupon gave the seniors an opportunity to win a variety of wonderful prizes provided
by our local merchants. On October 31st over 120 people gathered at our lunch program to hear
the winners announced.
Because of your support and generosity, the Senior Center will be able to offer many "extras"
that will enrich our seniors' lives. Your contribution will provide entertainment, refreshments,
decorations, and equipment that will be used to help support our senior programs such as
nutrition, dances, and special events.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your support in this worthwhile
community event. We look forward to working with both of you again and making the 22nd
Annual KoKo Beach Fund Raiser another big success!
Sincerely,
Gail J. Lynn
Recreation Area Manager
