4. Carrillo Ranch
Joan Kindle, Curator of the Carrillo Ranch, passed out an agenda bill for the City Council meeting of
October 18, 1994. She explained about the numerous historical artifacts which are being stored in a shed
at the Magee House/Park. She explained that the Carlsbad Historical Society has had problems with
transients smoking on the wooden porch and near the shed and that the artifacts are valuable and
irreplaceable. Therefore, the need for a better storage location has caused her great concern. The
Community Services Director did an exhaustive search for another place to store the items but was unable
to find one. As a result, it was decided to purchase a trailer and locate it on the grounds at the Safety
Center. The cost of the trailer will be $3,500 and funds from the Carrillo Ranch Trust will be used for the
purchase .
1. Redevelopment Master Plan
Commissioner Wanamaker reported that he had attended the Redevelopment Master Plan Advisory
Committee meeting and that the Plan is getting close to completion. The process has been going on for a
very long time. Commissioner Wanamaker will continue to be the Commission's liaison to the Committee.

2. Walkina Tour
Commissioner Jones reported that he had spoken with Ofelia Escobedo, President of the Barrio
Association, and she advised him that they plan to have a walking tour of the Barrio but it is still in the
planning stages. Ramona Finnila of the City Council stated that the Planning Department currently has a
pictorial walking tour of downtown which can be checked out at any time.
The Commission discussed the possibility of combining existing walking tours and creating one
comprehensive tour with a color brochure. They also discussed signage for the sites on the tour. Cynthia
Haas, Senior Management Analyst, showed a sample plaque which could be used to identify sites on the
tour. However, she felt that the Redevelopment Master Plan needs to be completed before a decision is
made on signage, to ensure that the signs don't violate the Plan.
The Commission discussed the need for funds to proceed. If a CLG Grant application is filed, it would
require matching funds. More definitive information needs to be collected before a grant application can
be submitted.
Commissioners Jones and Valenti will discuss the walking tour idea with the Carlsbad Historical Society
and again with the Barrio Association. Chairman Bizieff will approach Dave Bradstreet of Parks &
Recreation and see how he feels about it. Commissioner Wanamaker will talk to the Redevelopment
Master Plan Advisory Committee and the Merchants Association. Reports will be made at the next
meeting.
3. National Preservation Week
The Commission discussed the possibility of having an event at the Carlsbad Theatre to celebrate National
Preservation Week. Commissioner Jones suggested the possibility of showing the Kindle video of historic
sites in Carlsbad. He recently found out that Daniels Cablevision is working to put the Kindle slide show on
video tape.
Members were requested to think of other ideas and present them at the November meeting.
INFORMATIONAL:
The next meeting of the Commission will be on November 14,1994.
