MONTHLY DIRECTORS REPORT NOV. - DEC. 1988
The Parks and Recreation Commission held a workshop on Saturday
December 3, 1988, with Robin Reid acting as the facilitator. Several staff
members were also in attendance and the consensus of the group agreed
that the workshop results will assist both Commission and staff members
perform more effectively as a team. A follow-up session will be scheduled
in another five (5) months to further evaluate the effectiveness of the
Commission's overall function and its advisory capacity to the City Council.
Dave Bradstreet once again performed outstandingly this year as the master
of ceremonies for the annual Christmas tree lighting at Rotary Park on
December 4th. Thanks to the Parks division for stringing the lights, the
community merchants for their support, the Rancho Buena Vista High School
Choir, and everybody who makes this annual event possible.
The Christmas tree recycling program will once again be provided for Carlsbad
residents. Firestation #1 on Elm Street will provide a depository site in the
northern part of town while Cadencia Park will accomodate the needs for citizens
on the southern end of town. The program will begin December 26th and
the Christmas tree mulch will be used for soil amendments throughout our
community parks.
Pool deck repairs have begun at the Community Swim Complex. The aquatic
facility should be back in operation by February 1, 1989.
The Seniors division has applied for $66,846 in grant funding from the
State of California Department of Aging. If the grant funds are awarded,
the money will be used to help furnish the new Senior Center.
The Senior Commission will honor the many volunteers who assist the senior
program with a Christmas dinner to be held December 16, 1988 starting at
5:30 p.m. One hundred and thirth seven (137) R.S.V.P.'s have been received
so far. Our sincerest gratitude is extended to these volunteers for contributing
to a very worth while cause.
Hundreds of area youth showed up Saturday December 10, 1988 for basketball
skills evaluation at Stagecoach Park. The Youth Basketball League will place
all participants into teams for organized league play.
- THE PARKS AND RECREATION STAFF -
WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
