MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE / JULY 1988
Once again, the Annual Carlsbad Triathlon was a notable success with 869
participants engaging in the grueling run, swim, and bike competition.
International entrants came from as far as Brazil with a multitude of nationwide
participants from throughout the United States. The Triathlon Federation has
rated the Carlsbad event within the top 40 Triathlons world-wide and seventh
(7th) within the State. CONGRATULATIONS to Sara Drapkin, Ken Price, and many
City staff members who have worked hard over the past years to stage such an
event as to gain world-wide recognition. Sincerest gratitude is also extended
to the many community volunteers and merchants who have contributed so much to
the Triathlon's success - it gets better every year!
Staff has assisted a Council Subcommittee to evaluate alternative financing
mechanisms in an effort to provide for a golf course and tennis complex
development. On July 12. 1988. the City Council unanimously recommended to place
a special T.O.T. Tax Increase on the ballot in the November election. If passed,
the increase is anticipated to finance a six to ten ($6 to $10) million golf and
tennis facility for the City of Carlsbad.
Parks staff have recently been working with Growth Management, Planning
Department, and the Engineering Department regarding the Pacific Rim Park Site.
Although still in the early stages of environmental review, HilLman Properties:
the new owners of the Pacific Rim Development, have prepared conceptual
development ideas for a twenty-four (24.25) acre community park. As part of the
growth management requirements, Hillman Properties must develop fifteen (15)
acres of their required twenty-four (24.25) acre park site. Once preliminary
staff review is completed, actual development plans will be determined after the
public review process is completed.
The Youth Summer Volleyball Camp at Stagecoach Park was recently completed with
over 30 individuals enjoying a week of skill training with the United States
Olympic Women's Volleyball Team. Each participating individual was presented
with an exciting memento - an official Olympic practice jersey.
The plans and specifications for the Pine Street Senior Center were approved by
the City Council July 12, 1988. The bidding process is scheduled to end August
24th and construction is anticipated to begin by late September 1988.
