RECEIPT OF SPONSORSHIP DONATION
INFO
rn ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive a donation of five hundred dollars ($500) cash in support of the September 30, 2006
National Public Lands Day-Lake Calavera Clean Up and recommend acceptance by the City
Manager.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
It is the mission of the Carlsbad Recreation Department Citywide Trails Program to provide a
trails system that ensures the recreational and leisure needs of Carlsbad residents while
supporting the protection and preservation of open spaces. With that in mind, the Citywide
Trail Volunteer Program supports annual clean-ups at the City's Lake Calavera Mitigation
site.
Once again this year, the Recreation Department provided Toyota-Lexus Carlsbad the
opportunity to support, at a local level, the larger national sponsorship program that Toyota
has supported for several years with the National Public Lands Day Foundation. The City
received a $500 donation from Try " J" Advertising, marketing division for the Toyota-Lexus
dealerships here in Carlsbad. The funds will be used to purchase t-shirts that will be given to
those who volunteer at the Clean-Up on National Public Lands Day.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with the sponsorship offset the actual cost of providing this event by
$500 that would otherwise be an expense required of the General Fund. The donation check
of $500 has been deposited into the Recreation Trust Fund account #149-4503-5651 under a
line item specifically identified for trails.
Letters of appreciation have already been sent on behalf of the Recreation Department and
the City of Carlsbad to Toyota- Lexus Carlsbad.

Dear Judy,
On behalf of the City of Carlsbad Recreation Department, I would like to
extend my sincere appreciation to Carlsbad Toyota-Lexus dealerships for
their generous $500 donation in support of this year's National Public
Lands Day, being celebrated on Saturday, September 30.
The donation received will greatly assist in the clean-up effort at which
volunteers will be removing trash, invasive plants, and sprucing up the
trails in one of Carlsbad's largest publicly owned open space areas.
Volunteer efforts on National Public Lands Day, contribute greatly towards
preserving and improving this great open space for all who enjoy nature
and hiking and biking on the trails.
Your partnership with the City in this event enhances the Recreation
Departments strong commitment in supporting our mission of continuing to
create community through people, parks and programs.
Thanks again for your generous donation and I look forward to seeing you
at Lake Calavera on National Public Lands Day !
Sincerely,
Liz Ketabian
Park Planner/Trails Manager
