B. Lifeguard Request for North Beach Area
Dave Bradstreet gave a report on this item,
stating he had discussed this with the City
Manager and wanted to get all the figures on the
usage of the beach, number of rescues, etc., to
make a recommendation to the City Council. The
State would be responsible for the lifeguards,
but would need increased funds to cover this
need.
The Commission directed staff to continue
pursuing this matter, with letters and data to be
sent to the State to enable them to assess the
need for lifeguards in the beach area from Buena
Vista Lagoon south to Oak Street.
C. Park Dedication Requirements - Calavera Hills
Master Plan
Dave Bradstreet reported that 90% of the
Commission had visited the area, and he stated he
would give a brief review of the proposal. Mr.
Bradstreet used a wall map to indicate the two
parcels that are presently proposed as a park
site, totalling approximately 16 acres. This
does not fulfill the developer's requirement for
park space in the Calavera Hills area, and it has
now been proposed that another 20 acres be
dedicated to the City instead of park-in-lieu
fees due. This 20 acres has a density of 1.5
units per acre, and would not be economically
feasible for the builder to develop. The City
could either develop this additional 20 acres by
allowing outside groups to come in and build
their own ballfieids, or could hold the land for
several years and then sell it for a profit.
Mr. Bradstreet stated that staff's recommendation
was for the City to accept the area totalling 20
acres and forgive the $130,000 park-in-lieu fees
due. If the developer builds more units than
proposed, then he will be responsible for park-in-
lieu fees on those additional units.
The Commission discussed the feasibility of
accepting this land instead of collecting the
money for the fees due, with the Commissioners
divided on their feelings. It was explained by
Mr. Bradstreet that the land must be designated
as general municipal in order to be sold at a
later date.
It was discussed that the Commission should
recommend that the money from any such sale of
land not go into the general fund, but be allotted
to Parks and Recreation for the building of
parks. In order for the land to be sold, there
would have to be a zoning change made, but it was
determined that if the land were owned by the
City, that would be easier to accomplish.

The Commission recommended the City accept the
two areas indicated by the developer, totalling
20 acres, (Z2 and Y) in lieu of $130,000 park-in-
lieu fees.
The Commission also recommended that any funds
that are derived out of the sale of that
dedicated land go to the Parks Fund.
Council Member Lewis stated he did not believe
the Council would agree to the second
recommendation made in the motion regarding the
funds from the sale of the land. However, the
Commissioners agreed they wanted this
recommendation made.
The Commission recommended any increase in the
density from that now accepted or projected for
this area would result in the developer being
responsible for park-in-lieu fees as required.

NEW BUSINESS;
A. Request to Speak by Mrs. Andrews Re;
Project
Chairperson Dahlquist reported on this item,
stating the City Council had already acted upon
this. The Planning Commission approved the
filling in of the finger area, but the City
Council denied it. Her recommendation was that
the Commission go on record for following the
plans that have been made. The Commissioners
discussed this topic, and the consensus of
opinion was that they did not want to commit
themselves to a stand on the land use element, as
the general plan needs to be revised.
Council Member Lewis commented there is going to
be a meeting with Planning, staff and Council,
and he recommended the Commission send
representatives to that meeting. The
representatives from this Commission would be
Commissioners McFadden, Cochran and Popovich.
The Commission requested their representatives to
emphasize that Parks & Recreation would like to
be included in the planning process on any
projects that pertain to their area, prior to any
changes in the master plan.
B. Police Shooting Range - Macario Canyon Park
Doug Duncanson, Park Superintendent, gave the
staff report on this item, stating the City
Council allotted funds for this range. He used a
wall map showing the two potential sites for this
shooting range: 1 - Hidden Valley and 2 - the
middle section of the entry area. Staff
recommends the westerly site be adopted as the site
for the temporary shooting range, which is site
#2.

The Commission accepted staff's recommendation to
locate the temporary Police Shooting Range at
Site #2, the westerly site.
Chairperson Dahlquist requested permission to
take Item 7A. Senior Citizen Site Location
Study, out of order and the Commission concurred.
A. Senior Citizen Site location Study
Chairperson Dahlquist reported on the meetings
held with the Sr. Citizens' representatives and
Mayor Casler and Council Member Chick, and the
report issued as a result of those meetings. She
stated this would be an off-agenda item at the
November 22, 1983, Council Meeting, and gave some
of the major points in the report. The Senior
Citizens will have use of the recreation hall
Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
and will be responsible for set-up and take-down.
Parks & Recreation will be in charge of the
scheduling for the Center, with priorities to be:
1, the City; 2, Senior Citizens' Association; 3,
Others. The Saturday night bingo game charge
will be $30 per hour. The long-range plan is for
the Senior Citizens to take over complete use of
Harding Street Center after construction of the
Safety Center.
Dave Bradstreet added that the Senior Citizens
were to take over where HUD and Research and
Analysis are located, and some time down the road
after another Community Center is built, the Parks
and Recreation staff will move out.
C. Election of New Chairperson
Chairperson Dahlquist announced the election of
officers would be held at this time to enable the
new Chairperson to take office January 1, 1984.
Commissioner McFadden was nominated for the
office of Chairperson, and the motion was made to
aceept Mrs. McFadden as Chairperson by
acclamation.
Commissioner Wright was nominated for the office
of Vice-chairman, and the motion was made to
accept Mr. Wright as Vice-Chairman by
acclamation.
Vice-chairman McFadden took over the Chairing of
the Meeting, as Chairperson Dahlquist had to leave.

D. Christmas Potluck Dinner Set for December 19, 1983
Dave Bradstreet reported the potludc dinner is
set for Monday, December 19, 1983, at 6:00 p.m.
The meeting will be held from 6:00 to 7:00 and
the dinner will start at 7:00 p.m. Each person
is to bring a covered dish and a tree ornament.
It was asked that this year each person give his
own "history" and not that of his neighbor.
E. Stage Coach Park Development
Dave Bradstreet used two large maps to show the two
alternatives for this development. Staff recommended the
second alternative, although it is more expensive. There
would be much more use from this area by developing as
shown on the second alternative. This park is
approximately two years away as far as being used. The
grading costs will be high, but will result in much more
usable space.
The Commission accepted staff's recommendation to develop
according to Alternate |2 for Stagecoach Park.
COUNCIL REPORT;
Council Member Lewis reiterated his thought the
Commission should send representatives to the
meeting with the Planning Commission and Council.
Commissioner Conti commented that he felt
projects should be co-ordinated, such as the
widening of Alga Road and the grading being done
for the new golf course along that portion of the
road.
B. Tree Committee
There was a discussion about a future meeting of
this Committee.
C. Educational Park Concept
This concept was dropped.
D. Levante School Development Plans
Commissioner Donovan brought this matter up at
the last meeting, and Dave Bradstreet had a map
showing the site. It was decided that a
misunderstanding had caused the concern that some
of the fields would be lost to the new school,
but that would not happen.

Dave Bradstreet added to his report that his
Department had expanded to include the Building
and Maintenance Department.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS;
A. Community Center at Magee Park
Dave Bradstreet gave the staff report on this
item, stating he was asking the Conmission's
permission to investigate the feasibility of
building a 10,000 to 12,000 square feet building
for a Community Center at Magee Park. He stated
Magee Park falls within the funding area for
block grants, and when the City no longer has
Harding Street Center, a Community Center would
be needed. He stated Magee Park was geared for
Senior Citizen use, and the City does not utilize
the area to the fullest extent, and it was felt a
Community Center building there would be very
compatible with the area.
The Commission directed Dave Bradstreet to
investigate other options open to the City for
the use of block grant money other than building
a Community Center in Magee Park.
State Parks & Recreation topic (CPRS banquet) was
added by Dave Bradstreet. He announced the
banquet would be December 7, at 6:30 p.m., at Tom
Ham's Restaurant in San Diego.
The Commissioners can attend without charge, but
must pay for their companion.

CO-SPONSORSHIP OF ACTIVITIES/PROGRAMS
Discussion
The Parks & Recreation Commission at their meeting in September directed
staff to prepare a report on the co-sponsorship of various programs and
activities.
The department is very selective about the events it co-sponsors. We
examine how the activity can benefit both organizations. Generally,
specific criteria is used to determine whether or not a group can be
sponsored: The activity should:
1. Create a positive public relations image, or
2. Bring in more participants, or
3. Generate revenue
Since July of 1982, the department has co-sponsored four organizations
including:
1. North Coast Aquatics-Gong Show
2. San Diego Swim Masters - 4 Swim Meets
3. United States Synchronized Swim - Swim Meet
4. Junior Women's Club - Haunted House
There also is the case where the department will contact an organization and
ask them to become involved in an event. This included:
1. Pea Soup Andersen's - Triathlon
2. Senior Citizens' Association - St. Patrick's Day Luncheon
In order to get an idea of how other cities deal with this situation, ten cities
in San Diego County were contacted. The responses were:
1. Oceanside, San Marcos, Lemon Grove, El Cajon, Poway,
National City, and Chula Vista - No Policy
2. Escondido - No written policy. The department does, however,
have the option to draft a contract and receive 10% of the profits.
3. Vista - The groups pay the base fee charged for use of the facility
plus 10% of gross receipts.
4. La Mesa - Written rules & policies

Alternatives
1. Keep the status quo. Staff will decide whether or not to co-sponsor
an organization.

Recommendation
Staff recommends alternative I. Staff will continue to decide whether or
not an organization should be co-sponsored.

RECEIVED OCT 0 7 1983
DATE: July 27, 1983
TO: Morris Vance, City Manager
FROM: James T. Porter, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: In-Service Training
Today, I conducted an in-service training program for our recrea-
tion division staff including Supervisor Cathy Brendel and Sr.
Recreation Leaders Jean Cole and Evie Daniel. We covered the
following topics:
1. Recreation Division Goals. Co-sponsored programs were
stressed with a main emphasis on getting others to provide
activities with the department supplementing them. It was
felt that the City's bottom line obligation in community
recreation was to provide for land acquisition, providing
facilities, administration and basic maintenance. Anything
over the aforementioned basics should be fee supported.
2. Co-Sponsorships and Contracts. It was felt that we should
revise our fee schedule for facility usages to increase the
costs for commercial recreation activities, i.e., teen dances,
softball tournaments, etc. We should also charge fees for
department co-sponsored activities equivalent to the old com-
mercial recreation fee, plus 10% of gross receipts. This
way if we felt the program was in the best interests of the
community, we could offer to co-sponsor the activity. We
would also have better control of what's occurring at the
park.
3. Facility Usage Rules. Several changes were made, including
reclassifying various groups of users. Upgrading fees for
the group picnic pavilion was discussed. A revised facility
usage schedule will be forthcoming.
4. Facility Lease Agreements. We explored expanding our lease
with the Y.M.C.A., including the possibility of allowing the
"Y" to take over running the Tiny Tot program. It was felt
that, due to the impending remodeling of the Community Center,
we shouldn't modify the lease at this time. We discussed re-
locating the Kulture Karavan office, the Historical Society
office and the Y.M.C.A. usage areas. This will be discussed
further when we begin our remodeling. It was felt that we
should not lease the whole facility, and that it was important
to retain portions of the Community Center for general community
usage.
5. Recreation Classes. It was felt that the old method of provid-
ing recreational instructional programs were a thing of the past,
If we were to develop new classes, they should be shorter in
duration and have an expressed following. New marketing tech-
niques were needed in advertising.

Ms Shirley Dahlquist
Chairperson
Parks and Recreation Commission
City of Carlsbad
1200 Elm Avenue
Carlsbad, California 92008
Dear Ms
I appre/oirate your sending me a copy of your letter con-
cerning lifeguards between the area north of Oak Street
and the mouth of the Buena Vista Lagoon in Carlsbad.
A member of my staff has looked into the situation and found
that there are some problems preventing the State Parks
Department from complying with your wishes. State Public
Resources Code Sections 5003 and 5007 define the powers and
duties of the Department and limits it legal authority to
spend money for care, maintenance or control on lands which
are not part of the state park system. The system is allowed
to enter into contracts with political subdivisions such
as cities and counties in order to care, maintain or control
lands not under the Department's jurisdiction.
The beach in question above the mean high tide is privately
owned with the exception of three, 50-foot-wide stairway
accesses owned by the City of Carlsbad. It is my under-
standing that these accesses are not suitable for towers;
land below the mean high tide is unsuitable for towers; and
the Department is not empowered to place facilities on
private property.
Thank you for keeping me apprised of your concerns.

CALAVERA HILLS MASTER PLAN PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS
Background
Calavera Hills Master Plan requires between 19.26 and 21.1 acres of land
to be dedicated for park purposes. This acreage was based on different
figures supplied by the developer and City staff.
In order for the City to meet their community park guidelines, the developer
agreed, if certain densities were increased, to dedicate two parcels
totalling 17.8 acres for park land that is centrally located and is adjacent
to one another.
This dedication of 17.8 acres will leave a deficit of between 1.4 and 3.1 acres,
which has a value of $124,410 to $281,880.
Developer Estimated Units City Estimated Units in May
MFD 2,293 2,560
SFD 866 936
Park Acres Required 18.3 21.1
Acres to be Dedicated 17.86 17.86
Deficit 1.43 3.24
Fee Requirements $124,410 $281,880
To fulfill the developer's remaining park requirements, he proposes to donate
to the City for general municipal purposes an additional 20 acres, Area Y and
Z-2 (refer to attached exhibit).
The developer also agrees that if he builds more units than he has indicated,
up to the City's maximum density, he then would pay the appropriate park fee
for each additional unit constructed.
Recommendation
Accept the 20 acres of land, Area Y & Z-2, for general municipal purposes with
a condition that the developer pay park fees for each additional unit that may
be constructed beyond his projections up to the City's maximum density.
Alternatives
1. Accept the 20 acres of additional donated land for general
municipal purposes in lieu of park fee requirements.
2. Reject the 20 acre donation and require the developer to pay
a park fee between $124,410 and $281,800.

Potential Use of the 20 Acres
- Open Space
- Agriculture
- Athletic Field Development (outside organization)
- Sell Land for Future Housing Development
Development Issues
- Access - Grading
- Sewer - Soil Types
- Water - Slopes
- Electricity - Land Use Compatibility
Analysis/Discussion
Investigation has found that the subject parcel will sometime in the future
have access to:
- Sewers
- Water
- Electricity
- Entry Ways
The land in question has steep slopes, Area Y is relatively flat but very
•rocky, and the total acreage will require extensive grading. There is enough
cut and fill to level approximately ten acres of usable land. Drainage could
be a major consideration. The existing densities would have to be changed to
make it economically feasible for housing development. The current zoning is
"Estate."
Outside athletic organizations may find the land attractive for field develop-
ment. Some of the land may be conducive for agriculture purposes. Finally,
the City may choose to leave the area as open space.
There is not enough Park-In-Lieu funds in District II to develop the 17.8 acre
community park. To date, the district only has $56,000. It is estimated that
the cost to construct the park site will be approximately 1.2 million dollars.
Revenue from PFF is to be channeled into the park development program in the
future.

"The Green Sheet"
November 21, 1983
You may have noticed a couple of changes at Levante Park recently. The
changes are:
1. The first 30 feet of the parking lot has been paved with asphalt.
This was done to prevent small rocks from rolling into the street;
and
2. Playground equipment was installed. The labor was provided by
the Carlsbad Evening Rotary Club and the sand was donated by
South Coast Asphalt.
The entryway to City Hall has been relandscaped with drought-tolerant
plants.
All the Commission members are invited to attend the Annual CPRS Installation
Banquet at Tom Ham's Restaurant in San Diego. The banquet will be held on
December 7th. Please call the office if you're interested in attending.
A grass volleyball tournament is scheduled for Saturday, December 3 on the
lawn next to the Swim Complex. The tourney begins at 9:00 a.m.
Basketball for elementary and junior high students will begin in December.
Practice is held during the week and games are usually scheduled on the
week-ends.
Fifty-nine Facility Use Applications have already been submitted for use of
Harding Community Center in 1984. This does not include the programs and
activities by our department.
Planning has already begun for the 1984 Triathlon. The "big event" will be
on Saturday, July 7.
On November 30 at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, a meeting will be held
