NEW BUSINESS;
1) Report on Carlsbad Parks and Recreation School-Age
Program
Ken Price, Recreation Supervisor, Parks and Recreation
Department, addressed the Commission and reviewed the
current after-school programs.
He reviewed the pilot after-school recreation program at
the Calavera Hills Park which began on a one-day per
week basis. Stacy Weaver is the Recreation Program
leader. The program was so well received that it was
expanded to Stagecoach Park and Pine Street School in
October 1990. The program is now currently offered four
days a week from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. as follows:
Pine Street School Tuesday and Friday
Stagecoach Park Wednesday
Calavera Hills Thursday
He noted that the schedule is published in the
English-speaking as well as the Spanish-speaking
newspapers and that all programs are conducted in
English and Spanish.
Mr. Price reviewed the budget and cost allocations of
the existing program and stated that 47% of the funds
are used at the Pine Street School program.
Participants at the Pine Street School average 35-40.

currently no transportation being provided for students
to the sites.
It is anticipated that the existing program will remain
the same for the ensuing year. However, there is a
possibility that a pilot program will be tried at the
Valley Jr. High School. It is currently under research.
Valley students are receptive to a program if there are
activities rather than "baby-sitting."
2) Report on Meeting with Current Child Care Providers
Susan Stark, ICRI, addressed the Commission and stated
that on April 25th they had met with the owners of the
Carlsbad Country Day School and the Carlsbad Village
Children's Center to discuss plans for expansion. The
Carlsbad Country Day School has available area for 36
additional students but no definite plans for expansion.
The Carlsbad Village Children's Center, plans to expand
by September 1991 and offer 15 additional slots. The
Center is in the process of meeting the fire
requirements. Carlsbad Village Children's Center would
also like to add 6 slots for infants, but is having some
difficulty doing this at the present time.
Commissioner Mead arrived at 4:45 p.m.
Both providers feel the planning process is confusing
and would like to see the process simplified and/or
clarified. Providers need to know what they are faced
with before they begin an expansion project, rather than
being faced with new requirements half-way through the
process. Neither operator felt they had sufficient
funds to add infant, mildly-ill or after-hour care
because they are so expensive. However, they might be
willing to do so with incentives such as financial
assistance, changes in zoning ordinances, and fee
reductions.
3) Review of Meeting with City Planning Department
Susan Stark, ICRI, reported on a meeting with the
Planning Department in which they discussed
(1) parameters for the establishment of child care
within Master Plans; (2) quadrant by quadrant review of
optimal child care development areas; and (3) a fee
structure for child care planning and use permits.
ICRI staff has compiled a list of current fees which may
be charged for the development of a child care program,
and is in the process of developing a matrix for
potential fees to be charged.
ICRI will create a flow chart and some scenarios to be
discussed with Planning staff and at the next meeting.
4) Discussion of Plan for Outlining Priorities for the
Expansion of Critical Child Care
Ken Jaffe, ICRI, reviewed plans for outlining priorities
for the expansion of critical child care areas including
infant care, mildly-ill care, year-round school-age
care, care for the Hispanic community, and care which
more closely fits work schedules.

separate non-profit organization, a City entity, or
control by a local non-profit organization.
