INFO
\X\ ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Receive donation and recommend acceptance by City Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION :
Since Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park opened to the public in 2003, the historic Caretaker's
Cottage has served as the park's Visitor Center. At the Visitor Center, guests may explore the
park's rich cultural history through a variety of interpretive displays and a 13 minute orientation
film produced by The Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc.
The audio video equipment purchased four years ago for the Visitor Center has gradually
suffered due to wear from its constant use. This last November, the President of the Friends of
Carrillo Ranch, Alan Kindle, approached staff to offer the assistance of his organization in the full
replacement of the aging and outdated audio visual equipment.
The Friends generously donated a 26" Sony Bravada LCD television and a Sony DVD combo
VMS player valued at $1,000. Now park visitors can enjoy watching the park orientation film and
an abundance of Leo Carrillo's golden era films on a new state of the art system.
The City of Carlsbad Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge The Friends of Carrillo
Ranch, Inc. and its membership for their generosity and continued support of the Leo Carrillo
Ranch Historic Park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The donation of the audio visual equipment represents a savings of approximately $1,000 to the
City's General Fund.
