ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Saturday, July 8, 2006, the Recreation Department held a Health Expo that combined the
Triathlon Seaside Expo with the Senior Center Health Fair. Over 63 vendors gave out
information on their products and services. In addition, demonstrations, seminars and health
screenings were held throughout the day. There was an estimated attendance of 1,500
participants learning about health and wellness.
On Sunday, July 9, 2006, the Carlsbad Triathlon celebrated its 25th Anniversary with over 900
entries in the race. Participants enjoyed the weather, trophies, mementos and customer service
provided by staff, with the aid of over 200 volunteers.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with the donated products offset the actual cost of providing this special
event. In order to maintain the caliber, integrity and notoriety that currently exists for the
Carlsbad Triathlon, the cost of providing the $735 of donated products and goods is an
expense, which would otherwise be required of the General Fund. The cash donation of three
hundred and fifty dollars ($350) has been deposited into the Recreation Department's Triathlon
Donations account #149-4502-5651.
Letters of appreciation have already been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department and the
City of Carlsbad to all of the businesses and organizations.
