MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE- JULY 1991
We are encouraging everyone to come out this Sunday, July 14th at 7:00 a.m. for the 10th
Annual Carlsbad Triathlon. We have approximately 1200 participants this year, which is a
record breaking figure. In addition to last year's program, we have added a special race for
professional athletes, featured at 9:15 a.m.
We are happy to report that Michael Bliss who suffered a very serious injury during the last
week of May is back to work and doing well. Two of our Tree Crew staff, Mike Barlow and
David Ephron, are currently working towards completing coursework for Certified Arborists.
The Parks Department has completed the Roberti-Z'Berg Grant improvements to the back
section of La Costa Canyon Park's passive area. Parks crews improved the current trail
system, planted new trees, upgraded irrigation systems and completed a general clean-up of
the area. The Department has received several compliments from area residents. The
application for park improvements to a 5-acre area of Hosp Grove has completed a
successful evaluation by the State Clearinghouse of Review by Environmental Agencies. The
next step in the process will be to obtain a coastal permit before work can begin.
Ninety (90) requests for qualifications were sent out to landscape architectural firms
interested in designing our future Alta Mira Park. Aha Mira Park will be a 42-acre
community park located in the southwest quadrant, directly east of Paseo del Norte, between
Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Road. Forty-five (45) qualification statements were
received. A selection committee made up of three Parks and Recreation Commissioners
and City staff will be reviewing the qualifications and selecting a park planning consultant
sometime this month.
Last fiscal year, the Senior Center provided for a total of 7,082 rides in the Department's
van (one-way trips), 35,790 noon lunch meals were served, and over 11,560 home meals were
delivered. This Sunday, July 14th, at 1:00 p.m. the Senior Center hosts its Annual Ice Cream
Social at Magee Park. The Senior's trip to the Del Mar Fair was an overwhelming success!
Our Adult Sports section is currently in mid-season with Coed Volleyball and 3-Person
Basketball with more than 50 teams presently participating. Next week signals the beginning
of the new Softball season registration. Youth Sports has just completed the 2nd Annual
Carlsbad Invitational Basketball Tournament. Out of the 12 San Diego County boys high
school teams participating, Carlsbad was the triumphant winner! Ballfield Maintenance has
just finished its busiest season of the year. With the conclusion of Youth Baseball/Softball,
staff will be doing renovation projects on the fields in anticipation of fall sports beginning
in August. /\
