Chairman Dahlquist reiterated her concerns regarding • people who enter the lagoon from the Park Drive side, without paying the fees for same. Director Bradstreet reported that Staff has been in contact with a representative for Mr. Kelly who had agreed to put up a fence if the City would agree to pick up the debris and dig the ditches.

' • In conclusion, Director Bradstreet indicated that the next step may be to discuss the matter with the Police Department or the City Attorney, and he added that he will report back to the Commission with a status report on same. Senior Citizen Requests for Use of Harding Community Center Director Bradstreet introduced Mr. Jack Jimmick, Executive Director of the Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association. Mr. Jimmick addressed the Commission and referenced his letter of January 18, 1982 to the Commission regarding 'the Associations' request for permission to conduct a Senior Citizens' nutrition program at Harding Street Recreation Hall. Mr. Jimmick continued to give some background on the matter, and expressed willingness to respond to any questions. In response to Commission query, Mr. Jimmick explained that there is no cost to the Seniors for the program; however, there is a suggested donation. He added that the program would be open to any Senior, regardless of his or her economic status. Mr. Jimmick continued to respond to" Commission questions regarding the potential enlargement of the kitchen facilities at the Harding Recreation Hall, preparation and provisions for the meals, and the possibility of providing entertainment along with the meals for the Seniors. Commission discussion related to alternate sites that could be utilized to house the nutrition program, such as Heritage Hall. In response to Commission query, Director Bradstreet gave a brief report on other uses and classes held at the Harding Street Community Center and Recreation Hall. He indicated that both the auditorium and recreation hall are being utilized for other activities on a regular basis. a MINUTES January 18, 1982 Page 3 COMMISSIONERS iI i i i •• In response to Commission query, Mr. Jimmick indicated that a staggered program would not be feasible, and would cause problems with programming.' Commission discussion related to scheduling problems for 1 the Harding Center. Commissioner McKee expressed concern that the Commission is being asked to make a recommendation on a very long- range program without input from other areas, and suggested that the Commission continue the matter to the next meeting, directing Staff to further study the scheduling for the Center, obtain input from the other groups and organizations who use the Center, and submit recommendations for the reorganization of same to better suit all needs. Mr. Jimmick indicated that their grant becomes available March 8, 1982. He added that- they have checked with several other facilities to use for the nutrition program; however, they are all too small, and their program must have space to grow. Commissioner Boone expressed concern that the Historical Society is not using their half of Magee Hall, and it is in a dormant status most of the time. In response to query regarding the possibility of having the program in two different facilities in the same area, Mr. Jimmick explained that the grant required the program to be under one housing unit. Chairman Dahlquist stated her opinion that the City should not disrupt several groups and organizations, only to accomodate one special group. Commission discussion again reflected alternate sites • that could be used to house the nutrition program, and the possibility of rewiring Heritage Hall for use of same. Following discussion the Commission directed Staff to further study the matter, and report back to the Commission at the next regular meeting, to be held Monday, February 1, 1982 at 6:30 P.M., at McGee Park. Commission Committee Assignments Commission discussion related to the outdated list of committee assignments for the Parks and Recreation Commission. Director Bradstreet suggested that the Commission direct Staff to come back with a revised list of innovative, updated titles for the various Committees, and appoint the committee assignments at that time. The Commission concurred. Commissioner Boone suggested that a liaison with community groups also be included, i.e., a booster club. Chairman Dahlquist suggested that the- lagoons also be* included as a committee assignment. - .

Doug Duncanson, Parks Superintendent, continued Che staff report, referencing the letter from Patrick J. Burke, District Conservationist, of January 8, 1982 on the Batter, which he distributed copies of to the Commission. Mr. Duncanson continued, indicating that the concerns are with the biological sensitive areas, which include the wetlands and riparian areas. He added that other concerns are the sage, shrub, and chaparral. The remainder is classified as introduced grassland, and can all be farmed, which makes up approximately 140 acres. Mr. Duncanson further indicated that the Soil Conservation Service will evaluate the soils capability to produce agriculture, although their main concern deals with erosion. He added that much of the property is quite ateep on the hillsides, and they will be asking that there be no agriculture on any slope over 30 percent. Mr. Duncanson continued that Staff is recommending that the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) be included in the lease, to allow enforcement of same. He added that they are requiring that no land be left vacant, which will mitigate erosion. Mr. Duncanson further explained that another restriction is the.Resource Management System, a detailed professional agricultural program, which Staff is attempting to incorporate into the lease. Also, Staff is requesting a reclamation project to prevent erosion. In summary, Mr. Duncanson indicated that a rough estimate of available agricultural area is approximately 82 to 120 acres, and added that the average lease will go from $200 to $300.

Staff has also worked with the Planning Staff, and the Finance Department has reviewed the economic data. Mr. Wilkinson continued that along with the interim use of agricultural leases, Staff is attempting to initiate a Forestation Program through a planting event the first week of February, and is looking at requesting donations from local nurseries.

On Cropland without significant sheet and rill erosion, Soil Conditioning Rating Indices will be used to develop any combination of management practices that provide for maintaining the soil for sustained production of high quality crops. We will be glad to work with you and the City "on sediment and erosion problems anytime. Please let me know if you have any questions on the above. Sincerely, PATRICK J.
