Endorse the appointment of a temporary position of a curator for the collection
of a Carrillo Ranch memorabilia. Appoint Mrs. Joan Kindle to this position.
ITEM EXPLANATION
For several years, Mrs. Kindle has spent countless hours researching the history
of Leo Carrillo and his Carlsbad Rancho. Through her research, which has led
her to such places as Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, and Sacramento, Joan has
obtained several photographs, autobiographical documentation and information and
requirements relative to the collection of further memorabilia and artifacts
associated with Leo Carrillo and his ranch.
One such requirement for the release of certain Carrillo memorabilia currently
held by various agencies and trusts, is the City's ability to provide for the
care of such artifacts.
Although the establishment of a museum is considered to be premature by staff
at this time, developing strategies to that end would be beneficial to the City
in terms of acquiring memorabilia associated with the future Carrillo Ranch
Park. '
Due to Mrs. Kindle's expertise in this area, staff feels she would be a valuable
resource person to enlist for this purpose. Although this temporary, citizen
volunteer position will require no personnel costs, minimal internal
administrative costs and possible temporary storage or repository cost may
require future funding.
