SWIM COMPLEX 0 ACTION STAFF: BEVERLY
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Accept and file or direct staff accordingly. -
ITEM EXPLANATION :
Since the January Commission meeting, staff has received three individual letters addressed to
the Parks and Recreation Commission. The letters were submitted by Carlsbad residents and
were also submitted to City staff and City Council. The content of the letters relate to the
individuals request to construct an additional Swim Complex within Carlsbad.
In years past, it has been the procedure of the Parks and Recreation Commission to include all
similar letters within the Consent Calendar of the Commission Agenda. In that manner, any letter
could be pulled from the Commission Agenda to be discussed by the Commission if any member
so desired.
In that respect, it helps facilitate the processing of any request in a timelier manner should the
Commission choose to act upon it. Conversely, the alterative to including similar letters within the
agenda would be to mail the letters to individual Commission members as the department
receives them. Commission members could then request the item be placed on the agenda at the
next meeting.
Unless otherwise directed by the Commission, staff will continue to process similar letters within
the Consent Calendar of the Commission Agenda. Only letters specifically requesting to be
addressed by the Commission will be placed under Departmental Reports.

” Carlsbad desperately needs a new 50 meter pool. The current pool at the highschool can
not accommodate the growth that this city has been under. New houses continue to be built
bringmg more families and lucluly more property taxes and income into the area. It is time to
use some of that income to Carlsbad to rush the completion of a quality competitive pool.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,

Dear City Council, City Manger and Parks and Rec. Commissioners:
I am writing on behalf of my family to address the issue of an additional
swimming pool in Carlsbad. Please take the time to put the 50-meter swimming
pool on the CIP budget for hs year.
I think all that the City Council does is important. Please take a moment to
include hs important issue in your plan. With the ever-growing number of
houses built each year in our city, we would only benefit from a 50- meter pool.
Sincerely,
Cathi Painter
