MONTHLY REPORT FOR FEBRUARY-MARCH 1992
Park Tour: A number of Parks and Recreation Commissioners recently attended a tour of
park facilities located throughout Southern Orange and San Diego Counties. The tour was
encouraged by the park design consultants and supported by the Municipal Projects division.
The primary focus of the tour was to familiarize Commissioners with park sites similar in
scope to the future Alta Mira Community Park. Of special interest were the community
center/gymnasium and tennis complex designs and operations.
Beach Accesses/Time Lock Gates: Council recently authorized staff to prepare documents
for the installation of time lock gates at the Ocean Street beach access. Although previous
Council action authorized time lock gates at the Grand Avenue and Beech Street
accessways, the Coastal Commission application will include all three requests, and the
approval for actual construction will require their action.
FY 1992-93 Department Budget Submittal: Department staff have submitted the Parks and
Recreation Maintenance and Operation budget request for FY 1992-93. Due to difficult
economic times and strict budget preparation guidelines, the Department has submitted a
request for approximately 9% below last year's operating level. The principle areas which
anticipate significant impacts will be Park Maintenance and Operations and Fee Supported
Recreation Programming.
California Parks and Recreation Society (C.P.R.S.) Award: Gail Watts, Recreation
Supervisor II, received the coveted C.P.R.S. District XII Service Award for outstanding
contribution within her district. Gail was instrumental in orchestrating a fantastic workshop
benefitting a large number of Parks and Recreational professionals. Workshop seminars
featured training in aquatics marketing, computerized irrigation systems, solicitation of
donations and promoting volunteerism -- just to name a few. Congratulations Gail for an
excellent job.
General Plan Update/Recreation Survey: The Planning Department has received the results
for the survey of Carlsbad residents which was performed as part of the ongoing General
Plan update. Department staff is working with the consultant group engaged to assist with
the completion of the updated General Plan. Results are currently being compiled and
tabulated for interpretation and application. Planning staff will soon be meeting with Parks
and Recreation Department staff to review the results so the information can be relayed to
the Commission's Recreation Survey Subcommittee.
