AB #9880 - REQUEST FROM LA COSTA 35 ATHLETIC CLUB. Council Member Mamaux stated he would like a staff report on th is item, saying the word "waiving" in the Agenda Bill bothered him. He said the City needs insurance protection for any event, and requested that staff present a report on the item. Frank Mannen, Assistant City Manager, reported that the request was to suspend the insurance requirement for the La Costa 35 Athletic Club for their Second Annual IISwi ng with your Heart Softba I 1 Tournament" to benef it two worthy local families. He said their problem is unique, as they have no national affiliation that would provide insurance. The current policy requires insurance, and obtaining insurance is not always feasible at a reasonable rate for some groups. Mr. Mannen said the recommendation was to waive the insurance requirement for the tournament and give staff an opportunity to work with these groups to find other alternatives, and to direct staff to review the existing policy and return to Council with a report and recommendations. He stated, if the City is too rigid, it precludes the use of some of the City facilities by certain groups.

In response, Mr. Mannen stated the City's programs are under staff direction and are better supervised; therefore, there is less risk. However, other groups say theTr programs are just as well-conducted. In answer to query as to whether the City could be a partner on a po I icy on an event-by-event bas is, Mr. Mannen replied it would be difficult to do that. He said the City would then assume the risk and the program would be under the direction and control of the City. Comments from Council Members were that they were willing to continue with the "Swing with your Heart Softball Tournamentvv, but with no alcohol being sold as a part of the event. City Manager Ray Patchett stated there was just one event, the YSwing with your Heart Softbal I Tournament" and the second part of the Agenda Bill dealt with other organizations and trying to get some direction to review the policy.

SANDAG PRESENTATION I Mayor Lewis stated he needed clarification regarding staff's role during Mr. Pettine's presentation scheduled for Friday morning at SANDAG. He stated there was a question about whether staff was authorized to give a presentation on the City's Growth Management Program. Counci I Member Marnaux said his understanding was that Mr. Pettine was to give his three-tier presentation and staff was to answer questions of technical support to I tern #3 and about our Growth Management P Ian, if there were any questions. He said there was no discussion concerning a staff presentation on the Growth Management P Ian. Council Member Larson stated that Mr. Pettine could give his presentation and staff support would be provided in that presentation. He said he would rather not try to second-guess the City Manager and decide how staff could be used in that capacity. Council Member Kulchin inquired whether staff could go to the SANDAG meeting and answer questions, and if there seemed to be interest in looking at the Growth Management Plan, have that put on a future agenda for a slide presentation. Council Member Mamaux said Mr. Pettine was to take his plan to SANDAG--not the Growth Management Plan--as that was not the issue discussed and not what he was to take down there, or what had been approved by the Council. Council Member Pettine stated that he had presented the tri-level approach before the City Council; one level re1 ated to a County P lanni ng Board, and one to a Sub- Regional Board and one to the conduct of local jurisdictions in land use planning. The proposal he is trying to advance is very similar to Carlsbad's Growth Management Ordinance, and he thought it would be advisable in the interest of the City of Carlsbad and the County that the SANDAG Board hear what Carlsbad is doing here. Mr. Pettine said he felt the presentation as worked out was within the guidelines, and that staff would not talk about County-wide approach; only about what Carlsbad is doing. Council Member Mamaux said that would presume that the SANDAG Board and everyone there were not aware of the Growth Management Plan and also they may have their own growth management p tans that they are very proud of. He further stated that the Growth Management Plan presentation should be presented as a formal agenda item and everyone should go to the presentation and participate. He reiterated that staff should answer questions and not make a presentation. q2J A $ "8 Q 0 MINUTES February 21, 1989 Page 9 COUNC I L REPORTS: (Continued 1 Mayor Lewis said that when staff is asked questions, they would certainly need background in order to say something. He said he felt that staff should give some presentation after Mr. Pettine gives his tri-level approach. City Manager Ray Patchett stated this is the same slide presentation staff makes on the Growth Management Plan. He said it would be simple to send the same two staff members to answer questions or make a presentation on the Growth Management Plan and Section #3 of Mr. Pettine's proposal. He asked for clarification. Council reaffirmed its previous direction contained in the amended Minutes of December 20, 1988, to allow staff to give a short presentation on the Growth Management Program at the SANDAG Board Meeting and answer questions regarding Itern #3 of Mr. Pettine's tri- level proposal. ADJOURNMENT: By proper motion, the Meeting of February 21, 1989, was adjourned at 9:Ol p.m., to Thursday, February 23, 1989, at 8:30 p.m., Carlsbad Safety Center, 2560 Orion Way, in the event a majority of Council Members are in attendance at the Third Regional Planning Workshop for North County Elected Officials sponsored by Supervisor MacDonald regarding Peak Hour Traffic Management.
