RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. °}(s> ~o?5 / approving formation of a committee to study feasible
sites and designs for a City-owned skateboard facility. Once the committee is selected and
approved by the City Council, it will be directed to report back to the Council with
recommendations upon completion of its research.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
A skateboard committee was first formed in 1991, to study issues relating to skateboarding
including the feasibility of a privately funded skateboard park in Carlsbad. The second
skateboard committee was formed in 1992 and charged with reviewing sites where
skateboarding was allowed and prohibited in the City, and identifying possible sites for use by
skateboarders throughout the City. The committee recommended that staff be directed to
explore the feasibility of several sites in Carlsbad for establishment of a low hazard skate
facility. At the City Council meeting however, staff was directed to pursue legislation to diminish
the liability exposure to the City, so the site review recommended by the committee was t
conducted.
Now, in response to a request by skateboarders to provide skateboard facilities for this
increasingly popular sport, the Council subcommittee is requesting the Council consider forming
a nine-member committee to study development of the first City-owned skateboard facility in
Carlsbad. The proposed committee would consist of a group of volunteers (none of whom
would be members of the City Council), and include one elementary school, one junior high
school, and one high school aged rider, a professional rider, representatives of two local related
businesses, a mother and father of riders, and a representative of the Parks and Recreation
Department. The committee would make its recommendations to the City Council through the
Park and Recreation Commission.
The committee will be assigned the task of recommending an appropriate site or sites for
construction of a local skateboard facility, preferred size and design layout of the facility, and
estimated construction and maintenance costs.
Based upon information obtained from cities which currently have city-owned skateboarding
facilities, and the recommendation of the City Attorney on liability issues, the following
parameters will be imposed on the committee's recommendations: The skateboard facility will
be City-owned, but not supervised by City employees. The facility will be free of chargejto
users. It will have only low hazard props. The facility should be in a highly visible location, >t
on or contiguous to school district property. Wearing of safety equipment will be mandatory
while using the facility, and this mandate will be conspicuously posted at all facilities and
„ EXHIBIT 1oo
Agenda Bill No. )3 93H
Page 2
vigorously enforced by citations for a violation of a municipal code ordinance which will be
enacted for that purpose.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the actual study is negligible. Design and construction fees will vary depending on
the size of the facility, the complexity of the design, and whether or not the facility is
incorporated into an existing park with amenities such as bathrooms, parking, fencing and
landscaping. An additional cost may be land acquisition, if a site other than a currently owned
City property or existing park is recommended. Some or all of these costs may be recovered
through the imposition of a use fee program.

SUMMARY OF ACTION ITEMS FROM BEACH EROSION COMMITTEE MEETING
HELD ON MAY 14, 1996.
1. SDG&E: SDG&E's request for a time extension was approved allowing
completion of Phase III removing approximately 500,000 cu. yds of sand from
the lagoon. Approximately 345,000 yards was placed between the jetties,
115,000 yards was placed north of the Tamarack Beach Parking lot and the
remaining 40,000 cubic yards south of the outlet jetties.
2. OFFSHORE MONITORING RFP; - Staff member Jantz has met twice with the
consultant team of Nobel Consultants, Coastal Frontiers, Everts Consultants and
Group Delta Consultants. Staff member Jantz has processed a one page
agreement with Coastal Frontiers to perform the spring offshore monitoring at
the locations established in the Request for Proposal. Since Coastal Frontiers
was in the area completing the regional monitoring program, the City realized a
$1,500 savings in mobilization costs.
3. NAVY HOMEPORTING PROJECT: - The Phase 1 dredging is scheduled to
begin in September provided that anticipated funding is approved. Carlsbad is
expected to receive 580,000 cubic yards by barge and pumped on shore
sometime in October. The finished sand profile is currently being designed and
permitted by the Navy.
The Committee discussed various methods of notifying the public of the
upcoming sand project such as: providing a fact sheet to be included in the
monthly City Water bills, a mass mailing camplaign to all residents, beach
signage, holding a public workshops, providing a detailed City Council
Presentation, a press release and possibly using a Daniel's Cablevision TV spot.
Staff member Jantz will send a summary of the public education methods to
SANDAG for the next Shoreline Erosion Committee meeting.
4 COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Shoreline Erosion Committee Meeting - Staff member Jantz summarized
the May 2, 1996 meeting. Key highlights were: the continued discussion
of the Navy Homeporting project schedule including state and federal
funding efforts, and the SANDAG Board's approval of a Memorandum of
Agreement with the Coastal Commission for the implementation of sand
mitigation fees.

SUMMARY OF ACTION ITEMS FROM BEACH EROSION COMMITTEE MEETING
HELD ON JUNE 11, 1996.
1. NAVY HOMEPORTING PROJECT: Staff member Jantz briefed the Committee
on the two latest issues with the Navy Homeporting project. Number one was
that the schedule has been amended due to the Environmental Health Coalition
(EHC) filing a lawsuit against the Navy to be heard by the courts on June 10,
1996. The EHC is concerned about possible contaminants in the deposition
material. Secondly due to this delay, the timing of the deposition of material on
Carlsbad beaches is delayed to May, 1997.
2. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Shoreline Erosion Committee Meeting - Member Jackson briefed the
Committee on the Shoreline Erosion Committee meetings of May 30, and
June 6, 1996. Key highlights were:
• The Navy Homeporting deposition quantities decreased in quantities
for Carlsbad and Oceanside with the final approved allocation.
• City of Oceanside will be a test pilot for the Trash for Sand Project with
the County of La Paz, Arizona. This project would place 20-30,000
cubic yards of sand at Bucanneer Beach in Oceanside-(approximately
2000 truckloads).
• The State Boating and Waterways Department may merge with State
Parks and Recreation Department.
3 NOMINATIONS FOR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR 1996-97: Two motions
were approved electing Mike Howes to the position of Chair and Lu Ann Hall to
position of Vice Chair for the 1996-97 term.
4. OLD BUSINESS; Staff member Jantz updated the Committee on the progress
of Seawall project. City staff and City Council members have met with the Army
Corps in an effort to expedite receiving the Federal construction money and to
streamline the plans and specifications in order to meet two deadlines: August 1
to Advertise for Bids and September 15,1996 to award the construction contract.
Staff is writing letters requesting support of the Seawall project to the Army
Corps, Congressman Ron Packard and Major General Stanley Genega.
5. NEW BUSINESS: Councilperson Kulchin had received a citizen's request to
investigate the loss of the fire rings on the State beach in front of the Agua
Hedionda Lagoon. Staff member Jantz informed the Committee that the State
doesn't have funds to support maintaining the fire rings or enforcing illegal fires.
Council may have staff investigate the possibility of the City installing and
maintaining fire rings.

SUMMARY OF HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 9, 1996
The following represents a summary of the Housing Commission
meeting held on May 9, 1996:
1) LAUREL TREE APARTMENTS
The Housing Commission considered a request by the developers
of the Laurel Tree Apartments affordable housing project for
an additional City financial commitment of $200,000 to the
project. This commitment, along with an additional $800,000
provided by participating developers and the tax credit
investor, provides additional funding to increase project
affordability. This improves the project's probability of
competing successfully for state-allocated tax credits
necessary for project feasibility. With an amendment
clarifying that City assistance is conditioned on the project
receiving all other necessary financing, the Commission
approved (7-0, Scarpelli absent), a recommendation to the City
Council to approve an additional financial commitment to the
Laurel Tree Apartments affordable housing project in the
amount of $200,000.
2) RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISIONS TO THE HOUSING COMMISSION'S
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
The Housing Commission approved (7-0, Scarpelli absent),
Housing Commission Resolution No. 96-006, approving revisions
to the Housing Commission's Policies and Procedures concerning
tape recording of meetings and distribution of minutes and
meeting summaries.
