Council recognized Mr. A. J. Skotnicki, 3535 Bedford Circle, Carlsbad, President of the Association of Carlsbad Taxpayers. Mr. Skotnicki spoke in favor of the request for police and fire facilities, but suggested that same be given higher priorities. Mr. Skotnicki continued that the Association does not agree with the prioritizaton recommended by Staff for the Capital Improvement Program, with regard to the median construction, and the traffic signal at Elm and Monroe. Speaking for himself, Mr. Skotnicki expressed concern and opposition with regard to Macario Canyon, and the firearms training facility for the Police Department. He also questioned whether funds from the general fund were loaned to build Phase III of Encina. With regard to the requested firearms training facility, Mr. Skotnicki suggested that local police departments utilize the firearms training facility aboard Camp Pendleton, and stated his opinion that although firearms training is very important to any law enforcement agency, it is not necessary for a City the size of Carlsbad to have its own facility. Since no one else wished to speak on the matter, Mayor Packard closed the public hearing at 8:51 P.M. Council discussion reflected on the inappropriate prioritization of the police training facility, the fact that the proposed library in the southern part of the City is not included in the CIP, and alternatives to the expansion of the current children's library. Council Member Casler indicated that she has received several complaints with regard to the timing of the traffic signals on Elm Avenue at Interstate 5, and suggested that same be taken care of with the use of contingency funds. Council Member Lewis suggested that Council meet with representatives from the School Board with regard to the library issue. He suggested consideration be given to requesting the School District provide some of the funding for the City Library, since most of the students utilize same, rather than the School Libraries. Council concensus indicated a desire for an additional report from the Chief of Police with regard to the need for a firearms training facility, and information as to the costs of utilizing other facilities such as Camp Pendleton. Also discussed was the feasibility of a joint program between the City of Carlsbad, City of Oceanside, San Diego Sheriff's Department, California Highway Patrol, and U. S. Border Patrol, with regard to a firearms training facility. Council Member Casler agreed that the design of the new policy facility should be given a higher priority, and suggested that consideration be given to the deletion of Item No. 37, the El Camino Real and Carlsbad Boulevard Medians, and utilizing those funds for the new police facility. MEMBERS y December 1, 1981 MINUTES Page 10 Police Chief Jimno responded to Council questions regarding the need for a firearms training facility in the City, joint operations with other agencies, and the possibility of public use of same to create revenue. He also stressed the importance of firearms training, and indicated that use of an outside facility such as Camp Pendleton would be at their terms and not as flexible as the Department's proposed facility. Mr. Beckman indicated that Staff's recommendation was to include the firearms training facility with the overall police facility. Council expressed concern with regard to the necessity of including the medians on El Camino Real and Carlsbad Boulevard, as well as the traffic signal at Elm Avenue and Monroe, in this years' program. With regard to the library in the southern part of the City, the City Manager suggested that two Council Members meet with two members of the the Library Board to discuss short and long range planning. Council directed Staff to prepare the necessary documents approving the Capital Improvement Program, with the deletion of Items No. 37 (El Camino Real and Carlsbad Boulevard medians,) and No. 54 (traffic signal at Elm Avenue and Monroe.) Council concurred that Staff re-evaluate projects in accordance with Council discussion, and return with a report in the near future. Council Member Casler commented that Council had no prior input in the process this year. In response to Mr. Skotnicki, the City Manager stated no funds had been borrowed from the general fund to pay for Phase I11 of Encina. Also, no water money will be spent on the operations center.
