Jim Elliott, Finance Director, gave the staff report as
contained in the Agenda Bill. He said he had met with
the Parks and Recreation Commission on April 17, 1989,
and had explained the fees for aquatics and the Agua
Hedionda fees. They expressed concern that the Council
understand how important the youth sports activities
are to the City, and that the City's goal of offsetting
the cost of operation should not override interest in
sponsoring those activities.

' PUBL I C HEAR I NG: (Cont i nued 1
Mayor Lewis opened the Public Hearing at 6:16 p.m., and
issued the invitation to speak.
Jeff Pease, 7821 Estancia Street, spoke on the issue of
the fee proposed for the North Coast Aquatics, stating
he has been involved as a coach for the last 14 years,
and has coached the Masters Program the last seven or
eight years. He referred to a handout given to Council
Members prlor to the meeti ng, setting out 13 points
concerning their program and the ramifications of a fee
increase for their program. He explained the programs
and the money brought into the C ity through those
programs. A fee of $2.50 per hour wi I1 be the highest
charged any swim team in San Diego County, and cou Id
not be passed on to the membership,
Mr. Pease asked Council to subsidize this program and
keep the fees where they are at the present time.
Wayne Rice, Athletic Director, Carlsbad High School,
stated that costs are always a factor when a program is
offered at the high school. He said the increase in
cost wou Id direct I y affect the high schoo I program
and he requested Council subsidize the programs for
the high school and the NCA.
Jim AI len, 7302 Azelea Place, spoke as an interested
parent, with ch i 1 dren in the high schoo I sw im program
and the NCA. He said there would be some children in
those programs who wou Id not be ab le to afford a fee
i ncrease. Mr. Ai len asked Counci I to keep the fees
where they are now.
Thomas Frey, 1840 Eastpoi nt Avenue, stated the chi I dren
were using the "fringe times" at the sw immi ng pool and
paying prime time fees.
Diana Silva, 2150 Janis Way, stated she had served on
the Swim Pool Study Commi ttee, and that Committee
agreed unanimously that an olympic-size pool
was necessary and that all ages were to be able to use
that pool. She told of the difficulty of keeping part-
time coaches and said that an increase of 78 percent
couid force the swim teams to mve to another pool site
to survive. She asked the City to consider a mre
reasonable increase in pool fees.
Frank Erickson, Oceanside, said he had been in the
Masters Program for twenty years, and boys who cannot
p 1 ay the aggressive sports do we I I in sw i mmi ng. He
expressed concern for the group swimmers if the fees
are increased.
Roland Samuelson, 855 Violet Court, representing the
Triathletes utilizing the Masters Swim Programs, stated
those people would have an option to go elsewhere if the
fees were increased, but wou 1 d rather stay here. He
said the publicity the City receives from these athletes
could result in mre sponsors to subsidize the teams.

PUBLIC HEARING: (Continued)
Everett Hulse, 417 Clementine, Oceanside, stated he had
four children in the swim program and a fee increase
would jeopardize having all his children participate in
the program.
Since no one else wished to speak on this matter, the
Public Hearing was closed at 6:40 p.m.
It was the consensus of Counci I that the swlmming pool
operate at 45 percent cost recovery and the other Parks
and Recreation programs remain at 60 percent cost
recovery. Counci I requested staff to determine
appropriate pool fees based at the 45 percent cost
recovery policy, but recommended leniency toward the
youth.
Mr. Elliott said that staff wanted to look at the fee
for a parce I map and grading p Ian check fees, and wou I d
also return with a different fee schedule in that area.
Council introduced the following Ordinances:
OR I NANCE NO. NS-68, AMEND I NG VAR I OUS TI TLES OF THE
CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE DEALING WITH CITY FEES.
ORDINANCE NO. NS-69, AMENDING TITLE 13, CHAPTER 13.12
OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE BY ME AMENDMENT OF
SECTION 13.12.020 TO ADJUST SEWER SERVICE CHARGES.
Council directed staff to return with a policy
requiring annual review of a1 I City fees as part of the
budget process.
DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
8. AB #10,015 - STATUS REPORT - BATIQUITOS LAGOON
ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.
Gary Wayne, P lanni ng Department, gave the staff report
as contained in the Agenda 8111.
Richard Yoder, 7738 Madrilena Way, stated there was
another side to this story which is being developed at
this time by a community of concerned and dedicated
scientists and managers of other lagoons. They wi I I
have Important things to say about the adequacy of the
E I R and the des I rab i I i ty of the project. Mr. Yoder
urged Counci I Members to not make any decisions or take
any action before they had received those comments and
caret u I ly cons i dered them.

wal I map showing the location of the residential care
faci I ities licensed for a capacity of six persons.
He emphasized that staff was not concentrating on
numbers, but that was the only control the City had by
State Law.
Laura Mustari, 1212 Oak Avenue, representing the YMCA
OZ North Coast, stated her facility was a non-profit
soci a1 service agency only, to serve troubled
adolescents in North County. She said she had received

penalties for narcotic violations.
J im McCormick, 3718 Bennington Court, School District
Representative to ADAPT Task Force, addressed Council
