Stookey, 5217 Don Valdez Road, addressed Council on the "good news" and "bad news" posture of the City. He stated Carlsbad is the envy of the neighboring cities and is the industrial complex of North County. The Growth Management Plan has controlled the growth and preserved the village flavor of Carlsbad. Mr. Stookey said the bad news was the per capita debt had increased 300 percent, as a result of the slow growth policy. He added that Council needed to establish expense-cutting priorities and wield the axe. Mr. Stookey stated he is a member of the Committee to Sustain Hosp Grove, and the Members feel alleviating the approximately $800,000 payment each year for Hosp Grove would be a strong step for taking the pressure off of Council. The Committee is circulating a petition to obtain 5,000 supportive signatures to place the proposal to lease 11 acres of the Grove before the voters, to help relieve the debt. Ronald Schiffrin, 2514 Abedul Street, addressed Council on the crime in the Carlsbad vicinity as stated by Representative Packard. He said he was not opposed to those who come to work in this area--only those who come to steal. Mr. Schiffrin stated he had observed these young men and boys, who are victims of the economic crisis in their homeland, and a new crisis against them by growers and economics in this country. Mr. Schiffrin felt the Task Force recommendations were to be commended and he asked the Council to look into the statements that had been made with regard to crime in this area, as he felt things had been omitted. He asked the Council to disassociate itself from the inflammatory crisis perpetrated by the Congressman and to look into the facts of the matter and use the Sheriff's Department and the Police Department to substantiate this.
