City Attorney Vincent Biondo stated the City Clerk and he had prepared Resolutions at the direction of Council for the acquisition of Hosp Grove to be placed on the ballot. Also, the City Clerk had prepared Resolutions for additional funds for the election costs. Dan Hammer, 4015 Isle Drive, thanked the Council for listening to the voice of the peopl-e, and felt this would unify all of Carlsbad. He suggested the ballot proposition be phrased clearly and suggested the following wording: "DO the voters of the City of Carlsbad approve the acquisition of 52.68 acres of undeveloped land known as Hosp Grove for approximately $7,000,000 plus acquisition expenses." Council Member Mamaux read the wording used for the Safety Center Ballot Measure, and stated that the Grove proposed wording is not the same. He stated the City was going into this purchase without knowing where the funds were coming from. He also suggested, at the least, that the wording should include the number of years they would have to pay the $650,000 annual payments. Council Member Kulchin agreed with including the number of years on the ballot, and City Attorney Vincent Biondo stated that could be added. Mr. Biondo added the purchase price is less than that figure, and that figure did include the cost of the bonds and improvement costs. Mayor Lewis stated he agreed the amount of money and the number of years should be shown on the ballot. Council Member Mamaux stated he felt the record should show the people this is a major purchase and it could not be done without affecting other programs unless taxes are increased or other means of obtaining more revenue were instituted. This purchase could not be made from General Funds without cutting current programs, or without increasing those General Fund revenues. %x 1 ., 0 MINUTES 0 (48) (48) \y 5 December 4, 1986 Page 2 COUNCIL % 94 MEMBERS % % Council adopted the following Resolutions: (one mot ion) Lewis X Kulchin RESOLUTION NO. 8900, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 8891 Mamaux CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN SAID CITY ON TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1987 TO INCLUDE THE SUBMISSION TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF SAID CITY A QUESTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 1.24 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE ASKING APPROVAL FOR THE ACQUISITION OF HOSP GROVE.
