IN SUPPORT OF

STAFF: GRANSE
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION - AGENDA BILL
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Receive donation and recommend acceptance by the City Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION :
As part of their continued support of Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, the Friends of Carrillo
Ranch, Inc. have donated several hundred artifacts to be permanently accessioned and stored in
the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park archives. These items will be used for research, education,
and interpretive displays.
Prior to the opening of Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park in 2003, the Friends of Carrillo Ranch,
Inc. systematically collected artifacts and memorabilia associated with Leo Carrillo for their use in
educating the public about the significant contributions of Leo Carrillo, and his time spent at
Rancho de los Quiotes (Exhibit 1). Friends' volunteers visited local schools and shared his story;
bringing the passion they had for Leo and his Rancho into public view. While many items they
had collected were already donated to the park, until recently many pieces remained in private
storage.
During the spring of 2012, the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. felt it was an appropriate time to
donate most of the remaining objects in their collection to the archives at Leo Carrillo Ranch
Historic Park. During the past several months, staff has been busy reviewing and accessioning a
majority of the donated objects into the Pas^ Perfect database, an archival tool used to identify
and catalog items donated to the Carrillo Ranch.
Examples of donated items include professionally framed photos of Leo Carrillo at his ranch,
personal photos autographed by Leo Carrillo, a color lithograph of Carrillo Ranch, memorabilia
from his work in Hollywood, copies of sketches by Leo Carrillo, housewares and items from his
time spent living at Carrillo Ranch, and all 156 episodes of the Cisco Kid television series in both
English and Spanish. The number of items the Friends has amassed over the 25 years they have
spent working toward the successful opening and operation of the Historic Park is a tribute to
their efforts—over 5000 in total.
In addition to the memorabilia, part of the collection included notes and contacts amassed by
volunteer curator, Joan Kindle, from her years of work devoted to researching the items. This in
and of itself is a valuable tool for staff to use when telling Leo's story. The notes document places
visited, sites researched, and valuable contacts made. This information is priceless, as it provides
a framework for a deeper understanding of Leo Carrillo, his ranch, and the historic park. These
notes spanning 25 years represent history that would otherwise have been lost, and which now
can be retained in the park archives and made available to the public.

Since forming in 1990, the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc. have remained a dedicated advocacy
group for the park, and have helped support its operation in a variety of ways. They have
provided funding for the 4*^ Grade Art and History Program, the annual Friday Night Film Series,
and numerous other interpretive exhibits still used today by parks & recreation staff.
The donated items will create learning opportunities and provide information to be able to share
Carlsbad's diverse history with both its residents and visitors.
The City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Department wishes to acknowledge the outstanding
and devoted support of the Friends of Carrillo Ranch, Inc.
