INFO TITLE : LA COSTA YOUTH
ORGANIZATION (LCYO) REQUEST
ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Consider a request from LCYO. If the Commission concurs, direct the issue back to staff for
further review and return to the Commission with a recommendation.
ITEM kXPLANATION :
Staff received a request from LCYO to provide ballfield scheduling services for the advanced
development of activity playfields at the site of a future junior high school in the La Costa Valley
development.
LCYO and Lightning Soccer have approached the San Dieguito Union High School District
(SDUSD) with a request to allow the two organizations to pay for the advanced development of
activity playfields at the location of a future junior high school site. This situation is somewhat
similar to the advanced development of the Aviara playfields with the exception that the City will
not take an active role in the field development or maintenance.
However, SDUSD has requested that the City of Carlsbad assume the scheduling responsibilities
of fields for LCYO and Lightning Soccer until construction of the school is complete. At this time,
it is uncertain what, if any, role the City would play subsequent to the completion of the junior
high school.
Staff would recommend that if the Commission would like to pursue this request, that the issue
be directed back to staff to further evaluate the expectations, responsibilities and costs
associated with this request. Staff would estimate returning to the Commission in April with a
recommendation for the City's involvement with this matter.
