Mr. Liskevch indicated that the U.S.A. team has no commitment to the Olympic
facility that is being considered at the Otay Lakes Complex. He stated that
funds to construct the volleyball center in Carlsbad would be generated through
the private sector and that the training facility could be used by the public
on a predetermined basis.
He envisioned the Olympic team utilizing the facility from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00
Noon five days per week, and the community using the facility the remaining
The Commission discussed Mr. Liskevch's proposal and had several issues they
wanted further information on, i.e., location, funding, scheduling development
costs, maintenance and operation, timing and what recreational amenities may be
displaced by the development of this facility in a future community park.
Staff met with Mr. Liskevch to discuss the various concerns and have prepared
the following for Commission to consider:

Time of Use (Tentative)

weekend and evening use would be predetermined by a master schedule for
U.S.A. volleyball or other special events.

Enclosed is the best I can do on short notice as far as the
volleyball participation is concerned. I have some additional
information on the way and will forward it to you as soon as
I receive it.
Here are some other general facts:
1.) According to the 1988 American Sports Data poll, some 37
million Americans play volleyball. Someone else has my
copy of that, but it's a legit figure that can be verified.
2.) Volleyball is the No. 2 ranked participant sport worldwide,
behind only soccer and the international volleyball federation
(FIVB) has more member countries than even soccer.
3.) Volleyball is one of the few sports that seems to attract
men and women in equal numbers. The 1988 National Sporting
Goods Assn. survey showed that of those who play volleyball,
47.8% were men and 52.2% women.
4.) Attendance and television coverage have risen significantly
in the last five years and the participation figures seen
at the college and high school levels increase exponentially
at the junior and club levels.
Give me a call if you need different or more specific information.
Sincerely,

SYNOPSIS OF A MEETING WITH THE CARLSBAD PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Meeting was on August 14, 1989 from 4:30 - 6:00PM in Carlsbad. Those in
attendance were: Dave Bradstreet/Director of Parks and Recreation and
his assistant Keith Beverly.
We discussed the minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting
on June 19, 1989. We have decided to prepare a report to the Parks and
Recreation Commission for October 16, 1989. The questions that will need
to be answered:
1. What is the exact size of the facility?
2. What is the estimated cost?
3. What are the parking requirements?
4. What would the time of public use be? Would it be guaranteed? What
is the exact schedule that the USA Teams would utilize the facility.
5. Would there be any public cost to use the facility? Would there be
a difference in open gym, league play?
6. Who would pay for maintenance and operation? The city? The
sponsors?
7. What are the landscaping issues?
8. What type of revenue would be generated by the center?
9. What is the exact formula for getting the land? Would it be donated
by the city?
10. How do the citizens of Carlsbad benefit from the facility? What is
in it for the city?
11. What else can this facility have? Can it be multipurpose?
12. Where would this facility be located?
13. What are traffic and environmental impacts?
I suggest that we develop a plan of attack and go from there as soon as
possible.
