RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014-171 approvinR the six year lease agreement between the City of
Carlsbad and MiraCosta College Community Services and Business Development ("MiraCosta") for lease
ofthe city-owned building, located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive, to establish a North San Diego Technology
Career Institute and relocate the Small Business Development Center.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In October 2013, MiraCosta approached city staff with a preference to locate a new Technology Career
Institute in Carlsbad based on the strong employment base that could benefit from the program. After
considering the available facilities, MiraCosta decided to pursue the city owned facility located at 2075
Las Palmas Drive ("Las Palmas building") which would best suit the program's needs. In December 2013,
the City of Carlsbad received an unsolicited proposal from MiraCosta College to locate a Technology
Career Institute and the Small Business Development Center in the Las Palmas building.
MiraCosta's Technology Career Institute will create an extensive training facility for advanced
manufacturing programs that will provide skilled, certified workers in electromechanical engineering,
robotics/automation, and fluid power. The Small Business Development Center, currently located on
MiraCosta's campus in Oceanside, will provide resources and workshops to small businesses and provide
tailored leadership programs to existing businesses throughout north county.
Partnering with MiraCosta to achieve their workforce training goals will not only provide industry
recognized certificate programs to the businesses in Carlsbad, but also will add to the supply of skilled
workforce to the north county region. This effort will strengthen the technology cluster, add to Carlsbad's
core technology and skilled workforce base, and serve as a key strategic alliance with one of our regional
education partners.
The building located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive, was purchased by the city in 1986, and most recently has
been vacant for more than four years. The building is 22,627 square feet in size and was renovated in

2001. The floor plan currently has 61 offices, three conference rooms, a lab space, lunch room, open
office area, and restrooms with shower facilities. Any tenant improvements to modify the existing floor
plan will be at completed at MiraCosta's expense.
The space will be leased to MiraCosta's College Community Services and Business Development for
twenty-five cents per square foot or $5,656.75 per month for an annual total of $67,881. According to
the end of the year 2013 Colliers industrial report, the average lease rate per square foot per month is
$0.70. This market rate includes smaller facilities, lab and flex space, and often reflects tenant
improvements and fully maintained facilities. The Las Palmas building would be expected to generate a
below-market rate rent. MiraCosta has requested a reduced cost per square foot to allow the program
to fulfill its mission and pay for tenant improvements. The term of the lease is six years.
Prior to being occupied, building repairs need to be made including roof replacement, HVAC repair,
resealing the parking lot, and power washing the exterior ofthe building. These expenses are deferred
maintenance costs that the city would be expected to pay in order to bring the building into working
order. The expected cost ofthe deferred maintenance is approximately $450,000. MiraCosta would pay
for all tenant improvements, utilities, salaries and equipment, among other costs associated with
operating the institute.
MiraCosta submitted a conditional use permit to the city's Planning division to allow the intended uses
to occur at the Las Palmas site. The conditional use permit was approved by the Planning Commission at
their meeting on June 18, 2014.
City Council is strategically focused on creating quality jobs in a new economy and more specifically
focused on becoming a hub for higher education and research. The opportunity to bring MiraCosta's
Technology Career Institute and Small Business Development Center to Carlsbad aligns with the higher
education goal and provides advanced workforce training that is needed by our businesses today.
FISCAL IMPACT:
City Council has approved funding for the deferred maintenance through appropriations from the
Infrastructure Replacement Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the
meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment,
or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review.

PROPOSAL
FOR
The Las Palmas Building
2075 Las Palmas Drive, Carlsbad
Issued by MiraCosta College Community Services & Business Development
y
INTRODUCTION
This is an unsolicited proposal to develop the North San Diego Technology Career Institute (TCI) within
the Las Palmas building. We are proposing the city of Carlsbad lease us the Las Palmas building, at a
reduced cost, to create an extensive training facility for advanced manufacturing programs that will
serve the industry needs in North San Diego County, and more specifically in Carlsbad. The building will
also serve as the new home ofthe Small Business Development Center, currently housed at the
MiraCosta College Community Learning Center.
TCI will expand MiraCosta College's successful Industry-recognized Machining Technology certificate
program and create industry-recognized electromechanical engineering, robotics/automation, and
fluid power certificate programs. MiraCosta College will work with industry to create an accelerated
training approach that quickly trains qualified workers, increases student retention rates and connects
participants with jobs much more quickly than a traditional training program. Within 12 weeks, TCI
participants will have a certificate that will help them find a Job and move up a career ladder in their
chosen field.
Because ofthe community benefit we are providing, we are requesting a significantly reduced lease with
a term of at least 6 years, with the option of up to 20 years. We request that the building is leased to us
in good working order, with no deferred maintenance, and that the city of Carlsbad continue to be
responsible for any typical landlord maintenance that may need to be addressed over the course ofthe
lease. The TAACCCT grant will cover many of our initial expenses, but a long-term reduced lease fee will
allow us to keep student tuitions low and affordable. In addition, it will free up funds to ensure that we
have state-of-the-art equipment for student training. This is imperative as we need to train students on
the most up-to-date advanced manufacturing equipment found currently in high tech companies.
TCI will achieve a number of important goals:
1. It will provide the local industries a steady supply of skilled workers to replace the large
population of employees who are retiring from the workforce. Due to the shift in education,
there is a large gap of untrained workers. Industry has come to us, requesting basic level training
in advanced manufacturing. This allows them a solid foundation in which to continue training on
skills that are specific to their industry or company.
2. It will provide the local industries a training facility to offer incumbent workers additional
training. Employees will gain skills leading to fewer mistakes and fines, increased production,
increased revenue, company expansion, and higher employee satisfaction.
3. We envision the potential for more companies moving into the area knowing that their training
needs will be met and a continuous stream of potential employees will be available. With the
growth of new businesses in Carlsbad, more jobs become available, more citizens and other
industries see opportunities for relocating to Carlsbad.
4. San Diego County is recognized as a national leader in Maritime Technology, however there is
little to no training offered for this specific industry. TCI can help Carlsbad become an important
educational hub for this growing sector and for the new desalination plant. We have a close
relationship with the Maritime Technology Alliance (multiple representatives attended our
advisory meeting) and they support our programs and will continue to provide guidance as we
develop curriculum and training. Carlsbad can continue to be a leader in new technology, such
as what is being done with the new desalination plant, knowing that skilled employees and
future training are available to support this growth.
5. We are in discussions with Brown University to discuss a partnership with the School of
Engineering. Brown is also located in an area which houses a lot of maritime industries. In
addition, the two gentlemen we are working with went to UCSD and are familiar with the
possibilities of our area. We feel confident that they will want to develop some collaboration
over the next few years. This brings an Ivy League school with a well-known engineering
reputation into the area. We understand that this is an important long-range goal for the city of
Carlsbad. This initial partnership could lead to other recognized educational institutions coming
into the area to provide advanced education, which in turn brings in more industry knowing
they can rely on outstanding instruction/training.
TAACCCT GRANT OVERVIEW
On October 1, 2014, MiraCosta College Community Services & Business Development was awarded the
third round of the Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career
Training (TAACCCT) grant.
The grant program provides eligible institutions of higher education with funds to expand and improve
their ability to deliver education and career training programs that can be completed in two years or
less, are suited for workers who are eligible for training under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for
Workers Program. The primary intent ofthe TAACCCT program is to meet the educational or career
training needs of Veterans and workers who have lost their Jobs or are threatened with Job loss as a
result of foreign trade by funding the expansion and improvement of education and career training
programs that are suited for these individuals.
The overarching goals ofthe TAACCCT program are to:
1. Increase attainment of degrees, certificates, diplomas, and other industry-recognized
credentials that match the skills needed by employers to better prepare Veterans and TAA-
eligible workers and other adults for high-wage, high-skill employment or re-employment in
growth industry sectors.
2. Introduce or replicate innovative and effective methods for designing and delivering instruction
that address specific industry needs and lead to improved learning, completion, and other
outcomes for Veterans and TAA-eligible workers and other adults.
3. Demonstrate improved employment outcomes.
A key feature of the Round 3 Solicitation is the pre-conditions for all applicants to demonstrate
employer engagement, use labor market information to focus training on local economic needs and
improve programs, and evaluate their programs. In addition to asking all applicants to demonstrate
employer engagement, the evaluation criteria includes scoring criteria for training models that include
work-based training opportunities, such as apprenticeships and paid and for-credit internships, and
include partnerships with community-based organizations and other nonprofits focused on providing
services to workers.
Our goal is to implement a new Technology Career Institute (TCI) that will expand MiraCosta College's
successful machinist program and create additional industry-recognized technician certificate programs
in North County. Our long-term vision is to:
• Create a hub of training for North County where industry can count on a steady supply of skilled,
motivated, and innovative workers.
7^
• Create a place where high school graduates, unemployed, underemployed and veterans can get
trained quickly and transfer right into vacant Jobs or continue their education for further
advancement.
• Create pre-engineering certificate and credit programs that will eventually develop into a BS in
Engineering through university partnerships.
We have attached our project abstract for your reference so you can see our response to the grant and
our intent for TCI.
NOTE: As part of the grant package, MiraCosta College submitted many letters of participation and
support from industry, local schools, and organizations. These letters can be provided upon request.
WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED BY DECEMBER 12.2013
This section is provided to the board so that you can see our investment in the Technology Career
Institute and the pace at which MiraCosta College has been moving forward to ensure that we develop
and deliver successful programs to our students.
Since October 1, our department has done the following:
• We traveled to over 10 colleges around the U.S. to learn about best practices. From these
conversations, many schools have shared their curriculum and a variety of valuable resources. In
addition, we have received a handful of verbal commitments to help us design curriculum, to
help develop instructional equipment, and to be available for any follow up questions/support.
• We began the hiring process for four new staff positions to support TCI. These positions will be
filled over the next few months.
• We have had an internal steering committee meeting with various departments and our Senior
Administrators on campus to ensure all involved are informed and working together.
• We have had an advisory board meeting with industry and local colleges/universities. With over
20 representatives, we were provided important perspectives on the manufacturing, biotech
and maritime industries.
We have met with local colleges and universities, as well as had communication with Brown
University in order to collaborate and provide a streamlined educational plan for our students.
We have met with someone who has expressed interest in working with us on another DOL
grant that will expand our ability to purchase equipment for TCI. The consortium will consist of
a local middle school, high school, our college. University of Southern California, and our local
workforce investment board. This grant will focus on robotics/automation repair.
We have researched national certifications in the areas of machining, electro-mechanical,
automation/robotics, and hydraulics/fluid power.
We are in the process of obtaining a new registration software program that will allow us the
capability to track and better support our students.
We have met with our evaluation team and are working on developing our data collection
techniques that will be reported to the DOL, our college, and any interested parties within our
community.
yh
NEXT STEPS
By October 1, 2014 (conclusion of year one ofthe grant), we plan on accomplishing the following:
• Hire expert instructors to assist with curriculum development and course implementation.
These instructors, along with our educational partners and the data collected from our industry
advisory meeting will guide us in designing our coursework and programs. These conversations
will also help us in determining what equipment to purchase.
• Early in 2014 we will form an external steering committee of schools and support service
organizations that can help us with supplemental services for our students.
• We will continue to hold both internal steering committee meetings and advisory board
meetings to ensure that we are moving forward appropriately.
• Secure the building for TCI and modify as needed.
• Order machines and equipment.
• Implement TAACCCT grant-funded programs in phases based on industry need. Depending on
the building timeline, we may first start these programs at our current facility at the Landes
Center in Oceanside, and then move them over with the machinist program when the new
facility is ready.
• Move our current machinist program and other non-technology based programs into the new
building.
• Begin the process of securing national certifications. Many of these certifications take many
months of paperwork, training and testing, site visits, etc.
• Begin developing transfer agreements, set-up initial coursework, and continue discussions with
Cal State San Marcos, Palomar College, University of San Diego, and Brown University for long-
term educational partnerships.
By October 1, 2016 (conclusion of year three of the grant), we plan on accomplishing the following:
• Maintain full classes of students to ensure best use of the facility and equipment, as well as
serving as many students as appropriate given classroom and equipment available.
• Successfully train almost 700 students within our advanced manufacturing and pre-engineering
courses.
• Graduate at least 90% of our students.
• Continue to work closely with industry to provide Job shadowing, externships, and hiring
opportunities for our students.
• Help prepare at least 75% of our students to get (and retain a job) through our Job readiness
coursework and support services.
• Have multiple educational pathways established for students to continue their education
beyond our initial courses and programs.
• Create stackable academic credentials within all programs, creating additional educational
opportunities for our students, both onsite at TCI and through transfer to nearby Universities.
• Have all national certifications approved.
• Add incumbent worker training programs to meet industry needs and provide further education
to previous students.
• Continue to look for and participate in grant projects to expand our current programs, develop
additional industry requested programs, and purchase equipment that will enhance our
offerings.
Our hope is that this grant is funding the seed money for a regionally (if not nationally) recognized
training center to successful educate students and get them into careers they love. We will continue to
grow our successful work skill programs and develop new courses and programs as student and industry
needs arise. Financially, our long-range goal is to have the tuitions charged for our courses sustain the
building and programs, including all staffing and equipment.
THE TEAM
MiraCosta College Community Services & Business Development will be the primary organization using
the Las Palmas facility. Community Services is the not-for-credit, fee-based arm of the college. We offer
a variety of courses and programs, from enrichment courses. College for Kids and drivers education, to
contract training and work skill programs. Over the last few years, we have been expanding our work
skill programs to include training for unemployed, underemployed, active duty military personnel and
veterans. We currently have twenty-two programs approved for WIA funding and nine programs
approved for Gl Bill funding. For more information about who we are and what we offer, please visit
www.miracosta.edu/communitv or www.miracostatraining.com.
Unda Kurokawa is the Director of Community Services & Business Development. Linda has been
working at MiraCosta College since August 2007. She has spent almost 20 years as an
educational and program specialist. She has created and directed a huge variety of programs
such as College for Kids, music academies, educator institutes, and career development training.
Over the last few years she has most notably designed and implemented multiple grant-funded
work skill training programs, pushed many of our work skill programs through the local career
centers for WIA funds, worked with the city of Oceanside to create an additional training center
within one of their city owned buildings, developed the highly successful manufacturing
machinist technician program (all graduates are now employed), and done extensive outreach
to our local community organizations and businesses in both a collaborative or training capacity.
Christine Jensen, Ed.D. is the Special Programs Coordinator within the Community Services &
Business Development office and will be the grant coordinator, housed at the new facility. She
has been working at MiraCosta College since March 2007. Prior to MiraCosta, she has extensive
years working in high schools and colleges. She has been a teacher, coach, and administrator,
performing a variety of duties and creating a number of new programs. Over the last few years
she has most notably designed and implemented multiple work skill training programs and
submitted (and awarded) Gl bill approval for our office and nine work skill programs.
The North San Diego Small Business Development Center (SBDC), currently housed on Mission Avenue
in Oceanside, needs to relocate. Our hope is that they can use a portion of the building for their offices
and share classroom space. The SBDC is a leading provider of consulting services and workshops for
small businesses in North San Diego County. They offer workshops and resources that provide step-by-
step information, as well as free one-on-one consulting services. For more information about who they
are and what they do, please visit www.sandiegosmallbiz.com.
y
The credit department at MiraCosta College may share classrooms and labs. The President and board of
MiraCosta College, as well as many of the staff and faculty would like to see Carlsbad as a fourth
campus, better serving our district. The most likely courses and programs would include pre-engineering
classes, 3D printing, and/or career and technical education courses.
We have had a meeting with the Dean and Director of California State University, San Marcos Extended
Education and they have shown interest in partnering with our organization. Although they do not
currently have an engineering degree, their physics department is looking to build engineering classes
and a B.S. degree. Their extended education department has the opportunity to offer credit classes and
degrees all the way through a Master's degree. By housing some or all of these future courses with us,
we help streamline a student's educational pathway.
We have reached out to the engineering department at Brown University in Rhode Island (Christine
Jensen's alma mater). Within this last year, the School of Engineering has received two large donations
(in addition to some smaller donations), totaling $44 million. As a result, they are going to improve and
expand their engineering facilities, equipment, and overall program. They have demonstrated interest in
partnering with us in one or more ofthe following ways:
• Brown faculty hosts pre-engineering coursework to potential students
• Using the facility as an offsite location to offer Brown University courses and research
• The development of Joint hands-on curriculum using equipment that they may not have, but
would broaden the scope of student learning
• Partnering with industry to work on projects
PROJECTED REVENUE SOURCES
Our office is self-supporting. In order to address this concern, we plan to receive money from the
following sources:
• Tuition. Our class costs are set up to cover the cost of the instructor, supplies/materials, basic
marketing costs, and overhead costs.
• Grants. Within the TAACCCT grant we have funds set aside for some basic building renovations
and utilities. In addition, we will be able to purchase most of our equipment with the current
grant. We anticipate participating in more grants in the future, and hope to use future funds to
purchase additional equipment, cover initial program costs, as well as possibly scholarship
students who might not have alternative funding sources.
• Industry. We are working closely with industry and plan to continue to request donations of
materials, equipment, and potentially donations to either go towards our general operating
costs or to scholarship students.
• Subleasing & RentaL Due to the size of the Las Palmas building, there are many opportunities to
share classrooms/labs space and sublease offices to schools and organizations. Please see the
"TEAM" section above for potential subleasing and rental partnerships.
We believe that this combination of revenue sources will enable us to operate the Technology Career
Institute, as long as we have some financial support from the City of Carlsbad (reduced monthly lease
rate). Most of the TAACCCT grant money will go towards building renovations and start-up costs. By the
time the grant funding is no longer available, we hope to have our courses and programs running on a
regular basis, with full classes. In addition, we look to have the subleasing/rental options, new grant
funds, and industry support in place to maintain additional costs no longer covered by the TAACCCT
grant.
OUR REQUEST
We would like to request the use of the Las Palmas building at the reduced rate of 25 cents per square
foot. At 22,627 square feet, that would be $5,656.75 a month and $67,881.00 a year.
We would like a six year lease, with the option of extending the lease up to 20 years.
Priorto move-in, we request that the city make the following improvements:
• New roof
• Update a couple of HVAC units
• Power wash the outside of the building
• Asphalt in the parking lot needs sealing and restriping
• Make any additional repairs needed to meet ADA or Education Code standards for occupancy
We request the ability to put up signage on the building and in the front ofthe lot. These signs will fall
within the Carlsbad city requirements.
IN CONCLUSION
We understand that there is a significant reduction in the leasing rate. We hope that our proposal has
provided you enough information to understand our commitment to creating an excellent, widely-
recognized training facility. Both Linda Kurokawa and Christine Jensen are highly motivated to make TCI
a success and get our unemployed, underemployed, and veteran population trained in advanced
manufacturing and engineering technician skills. We are also very invested in creating opportunities for
women to enter into STEM education, from the K-12 level all the way through retirement. We have the
support ofthe college President, Board of Trustees, and many ofthe employees as well as local
constituents to make this successful. Thank you for your time and consideration.
