ITEM WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR:
5. AB #9008 - UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. IO.
Council Member Larson requested this item be withdrawn
from the Consent Calendar in order to question why the
City has $400,000 in unallocated funds. He asked if
they were attempting to get undergrounding done in the
Redevelopment Area first.
Chris Salomone used a transparency to illustrate the
balance in this fund, stating the money is from the
SDG&E rate payers and is kept in SDG&E accounts. The
City does not see this money, but establishes
districts and SDG&E undergrounds the utilities. At
the present time, District No. 9 will begin
construction within 30 to 60 days and will cost
approximately $200,000, leaving a balance of
approximately $25,000. Notification of the 1987
allocation has not yet been received. It would
probably be approximately $200,000.
In addition to this, District No. 11, which
is estimated to cost $300,000, has a feasibility study
underway. There are five more sets of poles which are
prioritized.
Council Member Mamaux inquired whether this money was
totally for Redevelopment Area undergrounding
utilities, and Chris Salomone answered it was for
undergrounding utiliti.es in the City, but the most
obstructive poles have been in the Redevelopment Area.
Council Member Mamaux said in the future, all streets
being reconstructed where telephone poles are to be
moved, should be considered before the project is
started. Staff indicated this money cannot be used
for moving poles, it can only be used for
undergrounding utilities. Council Member Mamaux
stated they needed to decide whether or not to
underground when they are starting construction. He
felt when reconstruction is being done in the City, it
should encompass the undergrounding of the utilities
and the price for doing that should be gotten before
the project is approved.
City Manager Frank Aleshire stated it would be
appropriate for the Council to ask for a review of
this policy and take a look at it. They could also
check the list for prioritizing.

ITEM WITHDRAWN FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR:
(continued)
Mr. Aleshire stated sometime ago Council, by policy,
decided that the priority would be to the
Redevelopment Area and that has been done. From the
standpoint of finances, as the Redevelopment District
becomes more wealthy, they may be able to pay for some
of those projects out of their Redevelopment Funds,
rather than out of the utility company money. It
would perhaps be wise to take a city-wide look at this
list of prioritized undergrounding of utilities.
Council Member Mamaux stated he would be happy to look
at that policy, as the older parts of town do need to
be re-evaluated.
Council adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 9076, EXPRESSING ITS INTENT TO INITIATE
PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 11.08 OF THE CARLSBAD
MUNICIPAL CODE AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE
REQUIRE THE FORMATION OF AN UNDERGROUND UTILITY
DISTRICT IN GARFIELD STREET BETWEEN ELM AVENUE AND
GRAND AVENUE.

(
Mayor Lewis stated staff would return with a list for
Council consideration on future undergrounding of
utilities.

NO. 9815 APPROVING MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT MP-IC OF THE
PUBLIC HEARING:
16. AB 89012 - ZONE 3 LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
PLAN (LDMP-3).
Mike Holzmiller, Planning Director, gave the staff
report as contained in the Agenda Bill, using a
transparency to show Zone 3. He stated the Planning
Commission had studied this plan very thoroughly, and
tonight staff would give a brief overview of the plan,
with no detailed analysis.
Mr. Holzmiller discussed the eleven major facilities, as follows:
City Administration is adequate, so no mitigation is
necessary. The Library is below standard, and until
that is brought into conformance, no residential
development may occur in Zone 3. This fact has been
known for some time, and the Zone Plan does provide some options that can be looked at by Council, but
does not solve the deficiency. Wastewater Treatment
capacity is to be discussed by City Engineer Lloyd
Hubbs, using new material distributed this evening.
Zone 3 is included in Park District 1, and has
adequate park acreage to meet the performance
standards. There is enough parkland in the inventory
until 1992. If the zone does not build out until
then, development would cease until that was resolved.
The existing facilities meet the standards for
drainage until buildout. Circulation is the most
complicated item on all plans. Zone 3 intersections
meet standards. When all the completed projects
outside of this zone that impact the intersections
within the zone are completed, the intersections will
fall below performance standards until there is
additional mitigation. That will be part of a city-
wide traffic study. The entire zone is within five-
minute response time as far as Fire Service.

PUBLIC HEARING: (continued)
Zone 3 is one of the infill zones and for that reason will not address any additional open space within the
zone. Because the future demand on the school system
would be minimal, the School District indicated it
would be able to provide school capacity for the
remaining development. The Sewer Collection System
will require no upgrading of the lines for the
remaining development in this zone. As far as Water
Distribution, this zone is located within the Costa
Real Municipal Water District, and they have indicated
no major upgrading would be necessary.
Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, gave the report on the
Wastewater Treatment Capacity, using a transparency to
indicate the summary of this report. The buildout
assumptions are for the entire sewer system which
includes Zone 3. The report as given by Mr. Hubbs
focused on the entire sewer service area and not just
Zone 3. There should be a capacity adequate for five
years, and there is a range from two to four years
capacity at the present time. An action plan, part of
Zone 3, is for all zones. There is a design for
expansion, and the City will participate in that.
Also, when the flow reaches 5.25 m.g.d., they will
seek leasing capacity. Another option would be to
activate the Calavera Plant, which would take about a
year and cost $1.5 million.
City Manager Frank Aleshire commented on the leasing
proposal, stating in the past the City did lease a
facility from Encina and never used it. Leasing is a
way to deal with a shortage, but he suggested before
they consider leasing, they consider pooling. All the
members of 3AC would have to agree to that. If they
agree to pool their excess capacity so the timing of
the Phase IV expansion could be worked out in terms of
the needs of all of the agencies, this would save
money for everyone. The cost of activating Calavera
would be greater than any use of Encina. Calavera was
built to give Carlsbad an option in reclaiming
wastewater and was done when there was a water
shortage.
In answer to query regarding the inconsistency in the
park element, Mike Holzmiller stated there should be a
community park in each quadrant. The determination was made in the northwest quadrant they are not going to be able to achieve a community park of the size
called for in the park element. The determination was
made that existing parks would be accepted as part of
the inventory as community parks. The Parks and
Recreation Element needs to be amended and will be
updated. The update of the element did not have to be
done before this Zone Plan No. 3 was approved.
Council Member Kulchin suggested amending the Parks and Recreation Element due to concerns in the
northwest quadrant.

1 PUBLIC HEARING: (continued)
City Manager Frank Aleshire stated that amending the Park Element does not need to be done before this Zone
Plan is approved. There are going to be many
amendments to the elements and the General Plan
created by the Growth Management Program. He
suggested any Amendments be made that are necessary to
make the General Plan consistent with the Growth
Management Program. Planning Staff would have to go
through and consider changes to accomplish this.
Council Member Mamaux stated planning is an ongoing
process, and approval of the zone plans is just the
beginning. The Parks and Recreation Commission should
consider revising the Park Element to meet the
requirements. There are two community parks in
southeast area and the northwest quadrant has none,
and no gymnasium. He suggested to include in the
process to buy the rest of the Pine School site when
it is available. He would like to see some wording in
the process that this site would be a future community
site. Mike Holzmiller stated there would be a yearly
update as far as the Elements and the General Plan,
under the Growth Management Ordinance. At any time
staff identifies a deficiency, this will be brought to
the attention of the City Council. If action is taken
and the standards not met, that would be brought to
the Council immediately.
Mayor Lewis opened the public hearina at 7:05 p.m.,
and issued the invitation to speak.
Bailey Noble, 5470 Los Robles, Terramar Association
President, addressed Council regarding the park
inventory land not owned by the City , but leased. He
stated if those leases expire, that would affect the
park inventory. Mr. Noble stated Hosp Grove is not a
community park, and that Cannon Lake could be a park and should be a higher priority.
Mr. Noble stated the traffic in Zone 3 will be
increased. There are already serious problems in that
area which will increase. The report on Zone 3 stated
there would be no increase in traffic due to the
limited amount of growth. Mr. Noble stated Carlsbad
Boulevard traffic is a problem and he wondered why
Cannon Road had not been considered. The last study
that was done in that area was done while Carlsbad
Boulevard was closed due to the building of the
bridge. Cannon Road will become a main arterial, and
pedestrians need help in getting across the street
safely. He stated he had appeared before the Traffic
Safety Commission, but this problem had not be
properly stated.
Staff indicated there will be a meeting of all the
residents in the Cannon RoadICarlsbad Boulevard area, and this meeting will be held May 30th. The letter was mailed out yesterday to all the people in that
area.

PUBLIC HEARING: (continued)
Bob Ladwig, Rick Engineering, stated he had submitted
a letter to the City regarding Avenida Encinas, south of Palomar Road. The road was improved on the east
side, but it needs to be improved on the west side of
the road. There is no development proposed for that
west side, as most of that land is in the railroad
right-of-way or adjacent to it. He suggested, as a
financing alternative, the cost of the improvements be
added to the Public Facilities Fee list.
Since no one else wished to speak on this item, the
public hearing was closed at 7:14 p.m.
Council approved the Negative Declaration and adopted
the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 9084, APPROVING A LOCAL FACILITIES
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT ZONE
3.
Council directed staff to initiate proceedings for the
revision of the Parks and Recreation Element for the
northwest quadrant.
HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION:

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
(73) 17. AB 88989 - APPEAL OF DENIAL OF TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE PERMIT.
Police Chief Vincent 3imno gave the staff report as
contained in the Agenda Bill.
3im Curl, 2235 Encinitas Boulevard, Suite 210,
Encinitas, spoke in favor of the Triathlon, stating
this is the fifth most popular triathlon in the United
Stated and he felt the benefits would overlie the
detriment to the City of Carlsbad. He stated they
would pay all of the expenses and the part of the road
to be shut off in Carlsbad would be very minimal. Mr.
Curl stated that registration would be held at the
Olympic Resort in Carlsbad and this would increase
benefits to the City of Carlsbad. He added that in 57
triathlons there have not been any serious accidents
and they have never had a judgment against them.
In answer to Council query, Mike McClure, Director/Bud
Lite USTS San Diego, stated he had spoken with the
Chamber of Commerce regarding this triathlon.

3oseph Glynn, 518 N. Rios, Solana Beach, representing
CAT Sports, stated he felt the negative impact on
Carlsbad would be very minimal from this triathlon if
permission were granted to close the road for the Bud
Lite Triathlon.
Risk Manager Robert German expressed concern regarding
the City's liability for this event. The additional
policy only covers third parties, not the participants. The exposure would be to the City and
to CAT Sports for anything over $1 million. The
ability to tranfer the liability is minimal. Mr.
German stated there is no liability insurance to
protect the City and this is an unnecessary additional
risk.
Council Member Pettine stated he would be willing to
support this request if the liability to the City
could be removed.
Council denied the appeal of the Police Department's
decision to deny CAT Sports a temporary road closure
permit to conduct Bud Lite Triathlon.
RECESS :
Mayor Lewis declared a recess at 8:06 p.m., and
Council reconvened at 8:18 p.m., with all Members
present.
(55) 18. AB /I8928 - Supplement #I - ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSULTANTS REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF SAN MARCOS
TRASH TO ENERGY EIR.
Planning Director Mike Holzmiller introduced Mr. John
Larson, Vice-president of RECON, who summarized the
detailed report contained in the packet, and stated he was available for questions. The recommendation of
the consultant was to adopt a neutral position with
regard to the San Marcos Trash to Energy Project.
In answer to Council query regarding air pollution,
Mr. Larson stated there are no standards for those
compounds. They are regulated on a case-to-case basis
and the Conditional Use Permit included a requirement for regular monitoring of the soil and the plants.
Council questioned health risks to employees at the
plant, and Mr. Larson answered the processing proposed
for this plant does not involve workers pulling out
the material. However, Mr. Larson stated he was not
qualified to comment on the employee occupational
risks. The public health risk was considered not
significant.

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (continued)
Mr. Larson stated the traffic mitigation was not part
of this EIR, so specific issues in the CUP which
include specific roadway improvement, should be stated
at this time in order for mitigation measures to be
incorporated into the CUP. Mr. Larson stated now was
the time to request mitigation of the Melrose
Road/Rancho Santa Fe Road traffic problem.
Council Member Mamaux stated that Mr. Larson had said
the landfill was handling 1600 tons of trash daily,
and the Trash to Energy Plant would only handle 1200
tons. He wondered what would happen with the
additional 400 tons.
Mr. Larson stated a cover letter should be sent with
this report with the concerns of this Council, and it
should be subject to the same review as the EIR, as
this Council had the right to comment on that.
Council Members felt there should be a finding on the
combined ash material plus the fly ash. The fly ash
was considered not hazardous, and could be put in the
landfill. However, in some cases, that kind of ash is
hazardous material. The ash should be tested, and if
it is hazardous, they should change their disposal
means. This could also add to the cost of this plant
and to the consumers.
Council Member Kulchin stated this was a complicated,
emotional issue. She disagreed with the neutral
position, and felt Council should take a position
against the plant. There are problems with the
unknowns, with the fly ash, the new health risks, the
traffic mitigation and also, what to do with the rest
of the trash the plant would not be able to handle.
She was supportive of a Resolution in opposition to
this Trash to Energy Plant.
Council Member Mamaux asked what the alternatives were
if the landfill was closed. Mr. Larson stated the
County could seek expansion on that site, or a new
landfill somewhere else in North County. The next
closest landfill is Sycamore Canyon.
Tom Erwin, 7703 Garboso Place, presented a copy of a
prepared letter addressed to the City Council, dated March 24, 1987, with eleven questions to be included
in this study. Mr. Erwin questioned the health risk
and the validity of the end product. He felt Council
should think of the citizens and take a strong stand
against acceptance of a flawed ETR and take another
stand against this trash plant.

Jack Leach, 3191 Sage Glen, Escondido, representing
North County Concerned Citizens, stated they have been
working against this Trash to Energy Plant for four
years. He read from his prepared report handed to the
Council Members. (The Clerk did not receive a copy).
He suggested the County should select a new landfill
site and Carlsbad advise the County they would support
a mandatory curb-side recycling program. He asked the
Council to reaffirm their position in opposition to
this Trash to Energy Plant.
Dr. Stephen Isaac, 20560 Questhaven Road, Escondido,
representing Questhaven Retreat, addressed Council
stating this is a land use issue. He felt this area
should remain a rural area as they are trying to
protect the chaparral in that area. He asked Council
to protect the environment and continue their
opposition to the location of the plant.
Don Wakefield, 7616 Primavera Way, addressed Council. He felt questions had not been responded to in the EIR
and comments on the risk assessment and air quality were uncertain. The emission from this type of plant
will be continual and will be at different rates, and
there will be all types of pollutants and the
reactions are not known. The uncertainties are too
large and he asked the City to urge San Marcos to
reconsider this project for this location. Mr.
Wakefield stated there would be a definite employee hazard, citing a recent explosion which killed three
people in a similar type plant.
Susan Glass, 3340 Bajo Court, stated 500 citizens from
La Costa were against this plant, and the Council
should vote as the citizens that are affected want them to vote. If the Council voted to be neutral or
in favor of this Trash to Energy Plant, she felt this
would be a slap in the face for those citizens. She
urged Council to continue to express opposition to the
plant.
Rick Ankrom, 20089 Elfin Forest Lane, addressed
Council stating concerns regarding increased traffic
problems in Elfin Forest on Rancho Santa Fe Road. He
stated there would be an increase in the truck
traffic, and they certainly did not wish to have an
addition to the landfill in the Elfin Forest area. He
asked Council to respond to the EIR and make formal
statements. He stated they should send a letter with
their comments asking for mitigation measures. He
asked the City to take a strong position against this
plant.

Bruce Hamilton, 20774 Elfin Forest Road, Escondido,
addressed Council in opposition to the Trash to Energy
Plant, stating the EIR does not answer the questions,
and doesn't provide for a buffer for Carlsbad. They felt it was necessary to have a buffer for San Marcos,
but that does not provide any buffer the other way.
He felt the EIR did not give an accurate base for a
decision. There is a need to support a new landfill.
San Marcos should be told the EIR is in no condition
to be approved.
George Boase, 1020 La Sombra, Lake San Marcos,
addressed Council reading from printed material handed
to Council Members. (The Clerk did not receive a
copy). He spoke about recycling and felt Council
should submit their comments on the EIR and oppose the
Trash to Energy Plant in the same letter.
Council expressed their continued opposition to the
location of the Trash to Energy plant for the
following reasons: mitigation should be included for
improvement of the traffic problem at the Melrose Avenue/Rancho Santa Fe Road intersection, and
extension of Rancho Santa Fe Road from Melrose Avenue
to Palomar Airport Road, making this six lanes; there
should be better answers on the ash, and the economics
of the entire issue; also, if this would handle only
1200 tons of trash per day, what would happen to the
other 400 tons of trash now being sent to the
landfill; the location of the Trash to Energy Plant
has not been buffered as far as the residents in
Carlsbad, and there should be another site selected in
an unpopulated area; the new risk study should include
the La Costa area. Council also asked for all
documents and comments regarding the EIR to be
forwarded to the City of San Marcos.
19. AB W9013 - SAN DIEGO COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL
CONTRACT.
Assistant City Manager Frank Mannen gave the staff
report on this item as contained in the Agenda Bill.
Sally Hazard, Director of Animal Control for the
County, San Diego County Animal Control Council of San
Diego, answered questions of Council regarding the County's procedures. In answer to Council query, she
indicated the County would agree to an amendment to

of animals. She also told of the money received from
the university for animals sold to them for
experimental purposes.
Council recognized Mr. Henry Thompson, 330 Chestnut,
Carlsbad addressed Council regarding the sale of
shelter animals for research. He expressed his
opposition to the practice and felt it was
unnecessary.
Jan Williams, 3766 Portland Court, read from the
testimony of Dr. Barnard, regarding the suffering of
animals used for experimental purposes. She stated
that many Doctors are now opposing pound seizure. She
stated the Del Mar City Council had passed an amended
agreement and suggested Carlsbad do the same.
Council recognized Mrs. Mary Ann Melvin, 430 Canyon
Drive, Solana Beach who requested Council approve
amended wording similar to that approved by Del Mar
and Solana Beach. She stated she supported animal
control- and she endorsed the contract, but with
additional language: The Carlsbad City Council
encourages the County to continue its animal shelter
practice of not providing animals from the North
County shelter for research purposes. The County
shall notify the City of Carlsbad in advance of any
change in this practice. At an annual review, the
City Manager shall determine that there has been no
change in County Animal Control Policy that would
result in the sale to UCSD of animals picked up in
Carlsbad.
Council Member Mamaux stated he felt it was up to
other people, such as the Board of Supervisors to take
a position on this, and he did not feel this
additional language would be of any value as it would
only result in the city being notified.
Council Member Mamaux moved Council approve Resolution
No. 9085 as presented, and request by separate letter
that the Board of Supervisors re-evaluate their
position on the use of animals in experimentation. He
noted the September 9, 1987 meeting so Council Members
could appear and make their feelings known at that time. Council Member Pettine seconded the motion.
Council Member Kulchin stated she would like to add
the language as passed by the Del Mar City Council as an adendum to Council Member Mamaux's motion. Council
Member Larson said he would second only Mamaux's
motion. Council Member Larson felt that the date of
that meeting should be expedited.
Council adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 9085, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FOR
ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES.
