Kathy Fallon, 3730 Yvette Way, addressed Council requesting an advisory vote on the November 1994 ballot to ask the citizens whether they want a Leg0 theme park in Carlsbad. Mrs. Fallon also asked whether the Council would be willing to adhere to that vote. She stated that if Council would not place an advisory measure on the ballot, the citizens would be left with calling for an initiative referendum or a recall. She requested an answer by the end of October. James Young, 3951 Park Drive, spoke in support of Mrs. Fallon’s request for an advisory vote on the November 19% ballot. Lee Bohlmann, 541 1 Avenida Encinas, representing the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, spoke in opposition to an advisory measure, stating that encouraging a vote on the issue before there is a confirmed project is poor policy. She stated that the Chamber is against determining land use by ballot box and supports a strong economic diversity. Geoffrey Bell, 3686 Highland Drive, spoke in favor of an advisory vote asking the citizens whether they want a Leg0 park located in Carlsbad and whether the Council would abide by the decision of the majorii. He said an answer is needed by the end of October. Tim Frazee, 3552 Hastings Drive, spoke in opposition to a Leg0 park in Carlsbad. Chris Calkins, 5600 Avenida Encinas #I 00, representing the Carltas Company, stated Carlsbad has adopted a stringent Growth Management Program and to vote on any new project proposed for Carlsbad would set a dangerous precedent. Peder Norby, 2630 Valewood Avenue, representing CARES, stated that he believed the majority of Carlsbad citizens support a Leg0 park, and a larger number support the current system through the Growth Management Plan. He opposed placing the matter on the ballot. Darrell Pines, 201 1 Lee Court, spoke in favor of a vote by the people on whether they want Leg0 to build a park in Carlsbad. J”r/ 0 0 October 12, 1993 Page 4 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (Continued) Hope Wrisley, 2080 Basswood, stated the process of government would be the loser if an advisory measure is placed on the ballot. She stated she had already cast her vote for the leaders of the City and she would expect them to make the decision with regard to any proposed project. Joe Fallon, 3730 Yvette Way, representing NAIL, spoke in favor of an advisory vote on the Leg0 park issue. Brad Becker, 1948 Swallow Lane, spoke in favor of an advisory vote, stating the Leg0 project is not addressed in the Growth Management Plan. Nicole Pappas, 2689 Garfield Street, spoke in opposition to putting the Leg0 project to a vote, stating a vote does not indicate what the majorii thinks, it merely represents a majority of those turning out to vote. Elaine Lyttleton, 3200 Seacrest, President of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, spoke in opposition to an advisory vote, stating it would set a dangerous precedent and would be a long term disservice to the residents of Carlsbad. She said that Leg0 should be allowed to get into the normal process of proposed projects in the City. Mayor Lewis stated that the checks and balances system in the City works, and he did not feel that any project should be threatened or intimidated by a vote. He said he would not support anything like this until Leg0 decided to come to Carlsbad and did not believe any discussion on an initiative would be appropriate at this time. Mayor Lewis recommended to the Ci Council that this matter be revisited after Lego decides on November 30, 1993, whether they will submit a project to Carlsbad. City Clerk Lee Rautenkranz said that two Initiative Calendars were available at the rear of the Council Chambers, and there is sufficient time after November 30, 1993, to go through the process and meet the deadline for the November 1994 ballot, if citizens desired to process an initiative. By consensus, Council agreed to take no action, but agreed to revisit the issue once Leg0 . decides after November 30, 1993. RECESS: Mayor Lewis declared a recess at 7:20 p.m., and Council re-convened at 7:31 p.m., with four Members present and Council Member Nygaard absent.

Marjorie Monroy, 361 0 Carlsbad Boulevard, representing the League of Women Voters, spoke in opposition to moving the Public Comment section to a different time in the agenda. She said it is a matter of convenience, and the placement of the Public Comment section can either encourage or discourage public participation.
