Reverend Tom Meeks, 5728 Palmer Way, Pastor of the American Lutheran Church, presented records of response to this action, and referred to his letter. Reverend Meeks referred to his meeting with staff with regard to the left turn break in a median street. He stated this was an Lssue of safety and enhancement of the public welfare. Mr. MacFarland had recommended the church provide the City with right-of-entry permit, and the church agrees with that recommendation. In the spirit of cooperation, the American Lutheran Church recommended an amended right of entry permit on a portion of land identified in the drawing as wetlands. This would allow the City to proceed immediately with Phase I of the project and would make it possible for Carlsbad, Encinitas and the church to work out a solution to fill the needs of all parties. Reverend Meeks stressed the necessity of keeping a level of cooperation and channels of communication open with respect to this issue. He stated 98% of the congregation of this church live in the CFty of Carlsbad. The property is now in the City of Encinitas, but it is a La Costa community church with Carlsbad residents who want to work for a better community and the safety of all people concerned.

He stated the City has a natural immunity for unimproved property left in its natural condition. Bob German, Risk Manager, stated he had concern about volunteer groups going into the area, as this would create additional liability exposure.

AB C9034 - MAYOR'S GENERAL OBLIGATION COMMITTEE - PROPOSAL PR03ECTS. I Mayor Lewis introduced this item, stating the Committee had met several times and had come up with the list as shown on the transparency. This list consisted of: Acquisition of Hosp Grove, Sidewalk along Carlsbad Boulevard Seawall Project, Pedestrian over crossings over Rancho Santa Fe Road to Stagecoach Park, Macario Canyon Sports Complex and Community Center Municipal Golf Course Construction, a Swim Complex Beach Parking, and an Outdoor Amplitheater, for a total of $23.4 million dollars. 3im Gaiser, 3340 Ridgecrest, addressed Council stating he was supportive of a bond issue, but he felt there should be two separate issues. Hosp Grove should stand on its own and the other projects should be a separate bond issue. Council Member Larson stated he felt the funding of the grove was one issue and the funding for the other items listed was a separate item. He did not feel that there was enough time to get all of those items on the November Ballot. He felt it would not be a comprehensive package with insufficient time to get complete details and exact costs. Council Member Kulchin concurred with Council Member Larson, statlng it was important for the G.O. Bond to pass. She felt there were too many unknowns in the complete list of projects. She felt the ballot should contain just Hosp Grove. Council Member Mamaux stated the Hosp Grove issue should stand alone. The other items listed in the Agenda Bill should be considered at a later time. Council Member Pettine stated he would like to hear from the Committee on this issue. Mayor Lewis stated the Committee had tried to find projects to enhance the quality of life in each quadrant. They felt the list of projects would then appeal to all quadrants and bring all of the people out to support the bond issue. The consensus of the Council was to place a General Obligation Bond Issue before the voters in November of 1987, on the Hosp Grove Issue alone, and for the committee to pursue details on the other projects for submission to the voters at a later election.
