ROLL CALL: Present - Vice-Chairperson Donovan, Commissioner Popovich, Morrison, Regan, Dahlquist and Conti. Absent - Chairman Wright. Staff Present: Dave Bradstreet, Director of Parks and Recreation Keith Beverly, Administrative Assistant I Lynn Chase, Recreation Superintendant PUBLIC OPEN FORUM; James Courtney, *915 Avila, addressd the Commission regarding the speed soccer court. He briefly explained the history of the speed soccer facility. He stated that late last fall the Parks 4 Recreation Commission granted him one year to demonstrate the feasibility of an indoor speed soccer program. Mr. Courtney stated that it has proven very successful. He is coming before the Commission now, however, because there are a few problems. Mr. Courtney explained that the temporary court set-up is not very effective because it is too small. He also stated that the Parks and Recreation Department will be installing new fencing around the facility and he would like to expand the courts and re-design them at the same time. In answer to query, Dave Bradstreed stated there is not a definite timeframe for installing the fencing. Commissioner Regan asked what the approximate useage of the soccer facility Is. Mr. Courtney answered that the useage Is very high and consists of only youth teams right now. He has many adult teams wanting to play, but he wants to wait until they can set up the courts permanentely. Lynn Chase said that they are looking into alternative sites to hold tennis lessons and are currently negotiating with the Carlsbad School District to use their courts. Mrs. Chase read Mr. Courtney's proposal to the Commission. He is asking the City to allow the Indoor Soccer Association of Carlsbad (ISOC) to expand the courts immediately, and have the City take over and reimburse ISOC for the cost of the system, or have the City lease the land to ISOC who would then run the facility as a private enterprise. The Parks 4 Recreation Commission felt they needed more information before they could make a decision. Staff will report back at the Ouly Commission Meeting.

APPOINTED SCRIBE; Commissioner Dahlquist was appointed Scribe for this meeting. UNFINISHED BUSINESS; A. SCRIBE REPORT Vice-Chairperson Donovan referred to Attachment A, the Scribe report. The Commission did not have any comments. B. SAMMIS PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS Dave Bradstreet reported that two months ago at the April 21, 1986 Parks 4 Recreation Commission Meeting the Parks 4 Recreation Commission directed staff to negotiate with Sammis to buy or provide us with land adjacent to the proposed HPI Park Site. He referred to the letter from Oon Briggs and turned it over to him to enlighten the Parks & Recreation Commisison on his letter. Commissioner Regan asked Dave Bradstreet to clarify whether they discussed the turnkey concept at the meeting two months ago. Dave Bradstreeet said that in the Sammis/Hunt's proposal It stated that their intentions were to develop a portion of land and that the Parks & Recreation Commission denied that concept. Commissioner Conti felt It was the Parks & Recreation Commission's direction at the April 21, 1986 meeting that this item be negotiated between Dave Bradstreet and Sammis and not brought back to the Commission for negotiating. Mr. Bradstreet stated that Sammis requested to be on the agenda and they should be allowed to speak. Oon Briggs, of Sammis, stated he was not at that last meeting when this was discussed and he would like to call attention to some of these issues now. In a letter he wrote to Dave Bradstreet he suggested that one alternative to the park situation In the 3rd District is to think of a "finished park" on city-owned land with Sammis doing all the work. This idea came from the fact that parks are needed now, especially In this area. By developing land In lieu of paying park fees It would bring the district up to the required standard. He explained that their concept was to Improve 10 acres of the Hunt Properties site in lieu of dedicating land or paying park-in-lieu fees so that the current deficit of improved park sites will be cured. They would negotiate with staff to find out what exactly should be In the park, i.e., ballfields, landscaping, parking lots. MINUTES 3une 16, 1986 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Page 3 COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Conti asked Dave Bradstreet approximately when the 30 acres from Hunt would be dedicated. A representative from Sammis answered that it would probably be at the end of the year. There was discussion on whether 30 acres would meet the standard when the entire quadrant was builtout. The answer was no. It was also discussed if whether the amount of money that Sammis would put Into the park would be enough to develop all 10 acres. Mr. Briggs stated that they would give the City a finished park and if the cost went over their required amount they would get a credit from the City for their Public Facility Fund requirement. The Parks 4 Recreation Commission directed Dave Bradstreet to continue negotiating with Sammis and to come back to the July meeting with more information regarding projected park development costs for five years from now. C. Cannon Park Keith Beverly, Administrative Assistant, stated that neither the City nor SDG4E have found anything to back up what was mentioned in the Quisenberry letter regarding the Planning Commission minutes and the SDGAE proposal for Cannon Park site In 1963. In regards to the Commission's Inquiry of the zoning of Cannon Park, Mr. Bradstreet stated It has been Identified as open space on the Agua Hedionda Local Coastal Plan and the Carlsbad General Plan. He stated that in order for SDG4E to pursue development plans of Cannon Park, they will be required to follow the process for zone changes with the City of Carlsbad. D. Stagecoach Community Park Update Dave Bradstreet updated the Commission on the development of Stagecoach Community Park. He informed the Commission that the Contractor has asked for a 4-0-day extension because they could not get access to a certain area of the park due to a slide problem. Staff Is evaluating their request and will be making a decision on whether or not to grant the extension. Dave Bradstreet also gave an update on the grading situation. The grader, H 4 A, has filed a claim for excess money for removal of additional dirt. Staff is in the process of analyzing this, request and will be coming back to the Parks 4 Recreation Commission with a recommendation to the City Manager's Office. Mr. Bradstreet informed the Commission of another problem they have encountered. He explained that a developer of the property on the south side of the park discovered that a portion of the property was found to have a slide condition and may affect a portion of Stagecoach Park. This required us to halt development In this section of the park. Construction has now started up again. They have geologists analyzing the situation and staff Is currently evaluating the results. MINUTES Dune 16, 1986 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Page COMMISSIONERS E. Calavera Hills Community Park Update Director Bradstreet stated that they received five bids ranging from $1.3 million to $1.6 million. This was about 33% over staff's estimate. Staff is now analyzing the bids and may make a recommendation to reject the bids or negotiate with the contractor to bring the cost down. He explained that they would not be deleting from the park amenities but would be redesigning the grading specifications which will accommodate the park amenities as designed. Dave Bradstreet stated that the groundbreaking ceremonies for Calavera Hills Community Park will be put on hold. Brian Robertson from the Historical Preservation Commission, addressed the Commission. He stated that this is a new commission and their first job is to identify sites within Carlsbad that have potential historical significance. Their Commission has identified the Calavera Hills Community Park as a historical site. Mr. Robertson stated that a cistern, and eucalyptus trees are all that remain of one of the first school sites of the area which dates back to the early 1900's. Their Commission understands that the grading plans may be re- designed and if so, they request that it could be redesigned around this site rather than destroying it. He further stated that if that could not be done, then they would like a plaque or interpretive center on the site. The Commission directed staff to work with the Historical Preservation Commission to do the best they can to salvage the historical site if the grading plans are to be redesigned. F. Mayors Summary Report Commissioner Popovich said that he was surprised to learn that ERA had worked on the Macario Plan, and at that time, they said a golf course was not feasible. Dave Bradstreet said he assumed that the committee knew that, but it should not have changed their decision because that was an entirely different concept. The concept in 1982 was to have the City build and operate a municipal golf course, and at that time the consultant, Iwanaga 4 Associates, said it would not be feasible. The approach now is to have private enterprise build and maintain the facility. Commissioner Donovan mentioned that in the future, the Commission should be given any background information that could be helpful in making a decision. Dave Bradstreet said that all the access way signs are made and one sign is up already. Staff will be putting up the rest as soon as they can. Commissioner Dahlquist suggested that signs be put up on all future park sites stating "Future Carlsbad Park". DIRECTOR'S REPORT Dave Bradstreet referred to the green sheet statalng that the Calavera Hills Groundbreaking will be put on hold. MINUTES PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Oune 16, 1986 Page 5 COMMISSIONERS ADDITIONAL BUSINESS A. Volunteers are needed for the Triathlon Dave Bradstreet Invited the Commission to assist with the awards presentation. B. Water Ski Slalom Course, Agua Hedlonda Lagoon Lynn Chase, Recreation Superintendent, gave the staff report on this Item. She mentioned that the report was not Included In the packet but was sent separately to the Parks 4 Recreation Commission. Mrs. Chase stated that the slalom course has been In the lagoon for the past 6-8 years without official approval of the City Council, which Is required by state law. She recommended that the Commission leave the slalom course In the lagoon and that they recommend this to the City Council. There have been no problems or accidents related to the course placement or Its use during the past 3 years the Recreation Division has been responsible for monitoring the lagoon. Mrs. Chase Indicated that the Bristol Cove Boat and Ski Club is the primary user of the slalom course. They have been purchasing and Installing the buoys and will continue to do so. She stated that Snug Harbor Marina Ski Adventures, Inc. Ski School occasionally uses the course. Snug Harbor and the Bristol Cove Ski Club will work out the maintenance. Mrs. Chase introduced Greg Rusing the Manager of Snug Harbor Marina. Mr. Rusing said he would like to see the slalom course left In because it is part of their ski school. He agreed with everything Lynn Chase had stated with the exception of the proposed charging to the public. He explained that the charging would offset the cost of repairing and replacing the buoys and rope if the course was open to the public. Mr. Rusing also stated that he would not like the course opened to the public unless they go through the ski school. He feels If it is open to the public there will be no control on It and would be a liability. Commissioner Dahlquist commented that the water and anything in the water Is public and cannot be kept private. She feels there should not be any restrictions put on the course because there are enough restrictions on the lagoon now. Commissioner Dahlquist further stated that the City has Insurance so that should not be a problem. Lynn Chase stated that the City Is self-insured and currently has no liability insurance. She stated that everyone issued a boat permit must have liability coverage naming the City as additionally insured. A motion was made to approve the permanent use of the buoys in the lagoon. Donovan Popovlch Morrison Regan Dahlquist Conti MINUTES PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION June 16, 1986 Page 6 COMMISSIONERS Discussion was held regarding Bristol Cove's insurance coverage of the course. The President of the Bristol Cove Boat and Ski Club stated he did not think their insurance would cover the course. Dave Bradstreet pointed out that it is staff's responsibility to identify potential liability areas. SCRIBE REPORT: Commissioner Dahlquist gave the Scribe Report.

DLB/kw c: Ray Patchett, Assistant City Manager Frank Mannen, Assistant City Manager Marty Orenyak, Building Director Jim Hagaman, Research Analysis Group Manager CP MINUTES April 21, 1986 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Page 8 COMMISSIONERS NEW BUSINESS; (continued) Commissioner Contl made a motion to direct staff to study the Cannon Lake property and Its usage of whatever funds available from SDG&E, subject to negotiation, and come back to the Commission with a plan for what can be done with that property. Chairman Wright seconded the motion. Commissioner Morrison Inquired whether there was a time limit for accepting the $100,000 from 5DG4E. Mr. Dudley stated SDG&E is asking the Commission to accept their plan in concept, and the details would be worked out later. They would like a contractual arrangement with the City to provide the funds for the park development and do an aerial survey now. They would submit the aerial survey to the Planning Department and would transfer the funds to the City before 1989. There would be three years to do the planning and development of the new park area. Mr. Dudley stated it was felt $100,000 was sufficient to do what was necessary at Cannon Lake Park, including fencing along the railroad, or whatever might be deemed necessary to make a safe playground area. With the consent of the second, Commissioner Conti amended his motion to read as follows: Parks and Recreation Commission accepted in concept the proposal to receive $100,000 from SDGAE for development of Cannon Lake Park to replace Cannon Park, and directed staff to come back with recommendations. A. Calavera Hills Community Park Development Dave Bradstreet reported an Agenda Bill will go before Council April 22, 1986, and Phase I of Calavera Hills Park will be out to bid. It is estimated park development will start sometime in Duly. The cost of the park has been updated and they are not asking approval of additional funds at this time. Chairman Wright stated there was no action needed on this Item at this time. B. H.P.I./Staff/Parks & Recreation Commission Committee Park Site Tour Dave Bradstreet reported that Paul Klukas was present representing H.P.I. Properties. A map was used to indicate the land H.P.I. Properties is recommending to be dedicated to the City for a park. After the density on the H.P.I, property was reduced, the number of acres owed to the City was reduced from 40 to 30 acres. The Committee had looked at the area and the Commissioners thought it was good property. Mr. Bradstreet asked for authorization to go ahead with this proposal. They also were looking at the proposal made by Sammis Properties, who owes the five acres to the City. They have offered to put their amount of fees Into the development of a portion of that 30 acres dedicated by H.P.I. Properties. The developers have worked together to come up with a proposal for a turnkey park to be provided by Sammis on part of the 30 acres dedicated by H.P.I. Properties. (3) Wright Conti Dahlquist Morrison Regan ATTACHMENT X X X Bf-2 MINUTES April 21, 1986 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Page 9 COMMISSIONERS \" V \ NEW BUSINESS: (continued) Mr. Bradstreet called attention to a wall chart showing a conceptural plan for that park. There would be two ballfields, two soccer fields overlayed and basketball courts, tennis courts and passive areas. Commissioner Contl Inquired whether It was possible to get five acres of land from Sammis Properties rather than the proposal to spend the money on the H.P.I, property. Commissioner Contl stated he would prefer to get the acreage rather than have the H.P.I, property Improved by Sammis. Commissioner Contl made a motion to divorce the Sammis Property requirement from the H.P.I, property and direct staff to enter negotiations with Sammis based on the Council Directive established for whatever number of acres required. Chairman Wright seconded the motion. Commissioner Contl continued, stating 30 acres was not the entire amount of park property as shown on the map represented by the green dot. Chairman Wright stated this was what was required at H.P.I.'s bulldout. The 30 acres would be given up front instead of after development. The suggestion was made to take the fees from Sammis' Properties and buy land either adjacent to this H.P.I, property, or In a different area. Commissioner Conti restated his motion to direct staff to continue negotiations with Sammis Properties to divorce Sammis from the H.P.I. Proposal and to continue to negotiate with Sammis for property rather than development of H.P.I properties. Commissioner Contl stated he would like some of Sammis Property in a prime area, preferably with a view. Discussion among Commissioners determined Sammis would probably not dedicate any prime land to the City for park area. Commissioner Contl reiterated he wanted to continue to divorce Sammis' proposal from H.P.I. Properties and negotiate with Sammis to purchase additional property abutting the H.P.I, property. With the consent of the second, Commissioner Contl withdrew his original motion. Dave Bradstreet stated the school district has been negotiating to purchase land in that area, and the cost was stated to be around 550,000 per acre. Mr. Lucas stated H.P.I, was not willing to dedicate any more of their land than the 30 acres required for the park. However, there was property adjacent to this area that was not owned by Hunt Properties. MINUTES April 21, 1986 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Page 10COMMISSIONERS NEW.BUSINESS; (continued) Commissioner Regan stated she felt 30 acres was sufficient for the park area, and was in favor of accepting this property from H.P.I, and proceeding. She felt Commissioner Conti's suggestion had merit, and if the City Council could get more than 41/2 acres from Sammis, she felt that would be fine. However, she felt the Commission at this time was considering whether or not they wanted to proceed with this piece of property from H.P.I. Parks and Recreation Commission accepted the park site from H.P.I. Properties, and to renegotiate with Sammis to purchase land adjacent to H.P.I. Park site for their P.I.L. Dedicatioi Requirement. C. SOGAE Proposal This item was taken out of order. (See Page 7) D. Park-In-Lieu Update Report This item was deferred until the May meeting.

As you are aware, at the April 21, 1986, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission voted unanimously to require Sammis Properties to dedicate land rather than approve a turn key proposal which would have developed approximately 10 acres of the "to be dedicated" HPI (Hunt) 30± acre park site. At the June 16, 1986, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commissioners upheld their previous decision regarding the Sammis Property's turn key proposal and further directed staff to continue negotiations with Sammis Property for land dedication adjacent to the proposed HPI (Hunt) "to be dedicated" park site. It is theref6re requested that negotiations between Sammis Property and City staff regarding park dedication requirements resume as soon as possible. Staff is looking forward to working with Sammis Properties in order to come to an agreement regarding this issue. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me at 438-5571.

SEE ATTACHMENT "B" ISOC provided fiscal information regarding: 1. investment in court furnishings/equipment 2. expansion of facility estimates 3. projected revenue/expenditures, with/without lights 4. proposed cost to the City to "buy out" ISOC SEE ATTACHMENT "C" RECOMMENDATIONS Staff's recommendations are: 1. Agree, in concept, to convert Monroe Courts site to an indoor soccer facility, instead of tennis courts. 2. Direct staff to negotiate and draft a Use Agreement between the City and ISOC. 3. Require ISOC to provide liability insurance naming the City as additionally insured for an amount to be specified by the City. If no liability insurance is available, ISOC must no longer use the site, effective immediately; when ISOC provides the liability insurance the use of the courts continues, as agreed, for the ATTACHMENT C INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD PROPOSAL July 11, 1986 Page 2 remainder of the one year trial period. 4. Use of the two remaining tennis courts will continue until such time as the courts are no longer useable or available for use. 5. City will perform minimal maintenance and will defer or cancel plans for site improvements. FISCAL IMPACT The City stands to gain financially from a Use Agreement with ISOC: 1. Annual net profit presently = $2,000 2. Projected revenue from ISOC, first year = $3,000 - $10,000 SEE ATTACHMENT "D-l" DISCUSSION Staff looked at many concerns, including: 1. Site analysis, present use by tennis and soccer groups 2. Loss of tennis facility and alternatives 3. Benefits of acquiring indoor soccer facility 4. Benefits of Use Agreement for private enterprise (3-5 years) SEE ATTACHMENT "D-2" SUMMARY Expanding the indoor soccer court provides a new recreation opportunity for youth and adults, at no cost to the taxpayers. The City will lose four, old-but-usable, tennis courts and gain the opportunity to generate revenue that could be used to acquire, develop, improve other facilities, ie. lighting the nine high school tennis courts. Staff recommends approving ISOC request to expand the court and recommends entering into a three to five year Use Agreement that includes escalating revenue to the City, each year. c: Jim Courtney, ISOC President Attachments LC:me MINUTES Page 3 October 21, 1985 COMMISSIONERS F. Indoor Soccer Facility at the Monroe Street Tennis Courts Chairman Wright explained the Commission was concerned about the possibility of this project making "money" and 31m Courtney had been invited to this meeting to explain this request. 31m Courtney, representing the Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad referred to a letter written to the Commission. He described plans for the soccer facility and stated that at the end of a year's trial, If the facility had not been successful, they would then replace the equipment to return the space to a tennis court. Mr. Courtney said the courts are in bad condition at the present time, and are being re-surfaced. At this point, there was a discussion about the courts being re- surfaced if this request was to be granted. Mr. Bradstreet stated there was a misunderstanding, and the re-surfacing would be halted. Mr. Courtney assured the Commission any money taken in by the soccer facility would be used to keep the program going and allow the sponsors to stop contributing out-of-pocket to those expenses. In discussion, it was oointed out these courts are the last to be used, due to the noise and condition of the courts. Mr. Courtney explained they hoped to instill some neighborhood pride in the soccer court, which would helo keep the area free of debris. He felt this would be an important facility for the youna people as well as adults.

RECEIVED MAY 1 21986 Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Ms. Chase: In December, 1984, I proposed that the City of Carlsbad, convert the Monroe St. Tennis Courts to a "Speed Soccer" Court. (INDOOR SOCCER) and attempted to show that it would be a valuable asset to the City. However, at that time, the Commission was unsure about the feasibility of such a facility and 'shelved' it. In November of 1985, I requested a smaller area in which to build a small demonstration court funded entirely with private funds. This was approved and the Soccer Court was erected. INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD (ISOC) purchased an Indoor Soccer System from the defunct 'LAS VEGAS AMERICANS' and a portion of the court is presently set up and in use at the Monroe St. site. Unfortunatly, it is inadequate in length for adult play. however, The "INDOOR SOCCER" court was an instant success! Of course with success comes problems! i.e.: 1. Demand for use of the Court. (Who decides, City or Club) 2. Size of the Court is too small. (Reduced team size.) 3. Supervision & maintenance of operation. We have demonstrated both the tremendous demand and the economic feasibility of a regulation INDOOR SOCCER COURT. The facility will be in use year around and will be the envy of all of North County. Not only fullfilling a public recreation need, but making a profit while doing so! We are asking you to accept the following proposals; 1. Allow INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD (ISOC) to expand the court immediately, by removeing the center fence and extending the SOCCER COURT another ninty (90) feet into the existing tennis courts. This would eliminate the two (2) remaining tennis courts, but the very small number of players currently using these courts could be accomodated at the nine tennis courts at the corner of Valley & Basswood St. This would also leave a small area at the end of the SOCCER COURT for teams to warm up while awaiting their turn on the court. 2. The City of Carlsbad would take over the facility and reimburse I.S.O.C. for the cost of the system, (see attached cost breakdown) or, The City would lease the land to I.S.O.C. who would then run the facility as a private enterprise. Attached please find a schedule of estimated expenses, and revenues, and costs involved for the City to take over and operate the facility. Thank you very much for your help and consideration in this matter. Sincerely yours, / James A. Courtney, Pre ' INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLBAD ATTACHMENT "B Z7 fit & /=? ^tIt F'.O. BOX 2117 - CARLSBAD, CA 92008 Lynn Chase Parks & Recreation Dept. City of Carlsbad This list of revenues & expenses are only an estimate, and would vary accordingly if operated by the City of Carlsbad, or if operated as a Private Enterprise. I.S.O.C. has invested approximately Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.) to date and would expend about Eight/Ten Thousand ($8/10,000.) more to expand the court to regulation size. Therefore the City could take over the court completely finished at a cost of approximately Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.). It would allow additional use of the facility if it were lighted, however this would cost approximately Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.) more. At any rate the City would receive a very attractive (and profitable) facility on a 'turn key' basis. The projected costs and expenses to operate the facility annually are: ITEM LOW (No Lights) HIGH (With Lights) 1. Labor $35,000. $40,000. 2. Insurance 8,500. 10,000. 3. Uniforms (Shirts) 2,500. 4,200. 4. Referees 10,000. 15,600. 5. Debt (Amortized 5 yrs) 12,480. 16,200. 6. Maintenance & Utilities 2,400. 6,000. TOTALS $70,880. $92,000. Primary Revenue would accrue from player fees, (Forty dollars each) and would vary depending on the number of teams (games) scheduled. V.'ithout lighting the facility you could schedule eight (8) games each Saturday, eight (8) games each Sunday and two games each week night, (10), for a total of twenty-six games per week. Each team would consist of ten (10) players, so each game would be twenty (20) players. Therfore; 26 Games, times 20 players, times $40., equals $20,800.00. If you play 10 week seasons, you could have five sessions at a total revenue of $104,000. If you play an 8 week season, you could have six sessions at a total revenue of $124,800. If the facility were lighted, you could play an additiona] 16 games per week resulting in additional revenue of $12,800 per session. This would be an annual increase of $64,000. or $76,800. Lighting the facility would be a good investment. Either way (lighted or unlighted) the facility is a profit maker! Annual revenue Annual exoenses Profit Unlighted $104,000.00 $70,800.00 $33,200.00 Lighted 168,000.00 92,000.00 76,000.00 Even if revenue is 33% lower, the facility will break even and provide ^ :nuch needed public facility.

Two courts are asphalt surface and in poor condition; these courts are the location of the ISOC field during the one-year trial. Two southerly courts are concrete, were resurfaced by the Recreation Division approximately eight years ago. The court fencing replacement funds were requested by Parks Division for FY 86-87 Budget. The southerly tennis courts use is: A. City conducted lessons Youth, after-school; M & W, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Adults, evening (Summer), M & W, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. B. Non-Scheduled - free play use by unidentified adult males/females and couples, day-time hours, year-round. C. High School classes/team practice. Two courts have been used for "overflow" of students when all nine high school courts are in use for PE classes (seasonal only) or during tennis team seasonal need. A chronology of the Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad development and use is documented. See Attachment "E", Staff has observed heavy use of the soccer facility from mid- February through May 31. The facility is used at the present time for "pick-up games" by adults; no fee is charged at this time according to Jim Courtney, ISOC President. A copy of the ISOC schedule was provided by ISOC and is attached to show the first season's use. See Attachment "F" ATTACHMENT "D-2" INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD REPORT CONTINUED. LOSS OF TENNIS FACILITY & ALTERNATIVES 1. The greatest impact to the community will be the loss of 2-4 playable tennis courts in the north-west quadrant of the city. The loss will be felt by those adults who drop in for free-play. No staff is present at the courts, so these users remain unidentified. The public can be notified of alternate sites by posted notice, press releases, and personal contact by assigning pool staff to the task. These tennis players will be directed to the High School courts, Laguna Riviera courts and La Costa Canyon courts and in the future, Stagecoach courts. Calavera Park courts, in the future, will be the choice for play in North Carlsbad. The Department has prepared a written request to the High School to approve making three of the nine school courts available during school hours for two hours, mornings, Monday through Friday, for use by the Department four hours per week and for use by the general public six hours per week. 2. Instructional classes for adults presently offered at Monroe courts may be relocated to other courts including Laguna Riviera and La Costa Canyon Parks. This move would reduce drop-in, free-play, at those two sites. If the School District approves the request for court use during school, relocation to other courts is unnecessary. Youth classes now at Monroe, after-school hours, may be relocated to the High School courts except during the school's competitive tennis season. Lessons for youth will not be scheduled at the High School during the heavy use season; staff will continue to look for alternative sites including private neighborhood association facilities and/or local commercial accommodations. 3. Staff has no recommendation for the High School overflow use groups. ATTACHMENT "D-2" continued INDOOR SOCCER OF CARLSBAD REPORT CONTINUED BENEFITS' - INDOOR SOCCER FACILITY Staff is aware of the growing popularity of soccer and recommends the installation of a permanent facility. An indoor soccer facility offers several advantages over a typical outdoor field including: 1. Cost to perform weekly maintenance is less (artificial turf versus growing turf). 2. Enclosed field of play preferred by novice and experienced players; will provide new opportunity for youth and adults. 3. Permanent field installation on City site identifies Carlsbad as a leader in providing soccer fields in North County; closest indoor soccer field is at Encinitas YMCA. BENEFITS - USE AGREEMENT 1. Staff recommends a Use Agreement as the method preferred for acquiring and operating an indoor soccer facility for the following reasons: A. Capital to Build & Operate Private enterprise can be responsible for the up-front dollars to buy, install, or expand facility; the City has no plans to include such a facility in the Capital Improvement Program. B. City does not presently budget for staff to schedule, maintain, and operate a facility of this type and intense use. While the Recreation Division could include staff and funding in FY 87-88 budget request, the private enterprise can accomplish the same ends quicker and probably at less cost. C. The City stands to gain considerable revenue from a Use Agreement at no cost. 2. Use Agreement Recommendations A. Duration Recommendation: Minimum three years, maximum five years with both cancellation/renewal clauses. If the facility proves to be unprofitable to ISOC, Jim Courtney plans to offer the service to the community using volunteers. B. City Participation: No City funds be expended to install and maintain or operate facility.

I understand that this matter will be an Agenda Item at your July 2.1, 1986 meeting. As a Carlsbad resident and tennis player in an in-formal group o-f 25 to 30 senior players who play three times a week, at least, on the High School and Monroe Street courts, 1 am very concerned about the elimination of two more courts from the total currently maintained by the City. The removal of these two courts would amount to a reduction of 2IX in available Carlsbad public tennis courts since 1985. This is extremely drastic in •face of the interest in tennis among Carlsbad residents and vi si tors. <r The two remaining Monroe Street courts were resurfaced at an approximate cost of $6000 at the time the other two courts were c o n v e r t e d to t he i n d o o r s o c c: e r c o u r t „ 11 h a r d 1 y s e £5 m s appropriate or a prudent expenditure of public funds to throw away that investment after such a short time when the new surface of the* courts has a useful life of 5 to 8 years. The tennis players who use the public courts are unorganized and encompass an age group from children to seniors in their 80's. These people greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate in a life time recreation activity which engenders good health and physical well-being. Surely, your Commission would not want to take an action which would diminish these o p p o r t u n i t i e s. ATTACHMENT C-2 n Additionally, the Monroe Street courts are among those dedicated to the City's tennis instruction program which improves the skills of tennis players at all levels. Aside from the loss of revenue produced by the classes, it would be a shame to diminish the program to the extent that players who live close to the Monroe Street courts would be denied the chance to improve t h e i r s k i 1 Is.

How economically unfortunate it would be if some of these people chose other communities for their temporary residence because of the lack of tennis courts nearby, particularly during t o u r n a m e n i; play. A major consequence of fewer tennis courts in the? central Carlsbad area is the discouragement to those who have? long waits to play on crowded courts or are turned away.

I sincerely hope that we can work together to provide Carlsbad's citizens with the best park possible at the Calavera site. It seems apparent to the Historic Commission that if the bids for initial grading and construction of Phase I are 33% over estimates made only 60 days ago by staff, that it would be wise to spend a little extra time and money to rework the grading and building site plans to cut costs back to the $1,000,000 level, saving $330,000. This would accomplish two things: First, the historic site could be preserved, giving focus, meaning and natural beauty to the park site. Second, the extra $330,000 could be used for actual on-site recreation improvements. This amount of money is approximately enough to build five, fully lighted regulation tennis courts. I would be glad to arrange a tour of this impressive park site so you can judge for yourself the merits of saving this grove and historic school site. Feel free to call me at home, 438-2845 any time. (I will be out of town from June 22 to June 28 any questions can be directed to Historic Commissioner Roy Blackford, 729-5627 or 729-0553. Patty Cratty in the Redevelopment office, 438-5652, can also help answer many questions). Thanks again for your time and consideration regarding this worthwhile project.

The request concerns the development plans for Calavera Hills Community Park and the location of one of Carlsbad's first school sites, more specifically, remnants of the site within the Park boundaries. Although this issue was not addressed within the Environmental Impact Report (Attachment B) or during the review process prior to the design and construction phase of the Park, it has now been brought to our attention. As you will note from Attachment A, the items requested for consideration of preservation are the eucalyptus trees and the cistern. Because of the involvement that RSI has with the development of grading plans and site development of Calavera Hills Community Park our Department is requesting a recommendation addressing the concerns of the Historic Preservation Commission.

As indicated to you verbally, this request can be accomplished if the scope of the park can be changed. The trees and the cistern are currently located on Cedric Saunders property in the area proposed for the tennis courts and community center. The layout of the park is extremely tight in an effort to maximize activity facilities. There is no available space to relocate the elements involved. To accomplish this preservation it would require the elimination of either the building and tennis courts or their relocation to one of the proposed ballfields. Obviously, the magnitude of this change would require a major redesign effort, the cancellation of the current contract for development of Phase I, and an extensive delay in the completion of the.project. Mr. Robertson's alternative suggestion could be accomplished at a minimal cost, dependent on the actual scope of work involved.

California 92631 (714) 879-6373 JULY 10, 1986 TO: DAVID BRADSTREET, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR FROM: Keith Beverly, Administrative Assistant^B PARK-IN-LIEU FEE REVISION BACKGROUND The land value figures which the City of Carlsbad currently uses in the computation of Park-in-Lieu dedication requirements were established in 1982. The existing land value was based on the average estimated "fair market value" of land within each of Carlsbad's four park districts as determined and agreed upon by City staff, local developers and community real estate agents. The figures presently used for land values per acre are: District 1, 2, & 3 $ 87,000 District 4 $109,000 A brief history of Carlsbad's in lieu fee is as follows: A. $87,000 per acre in District 1, 2, and 3; $109,000 in District 4 originally established February 16, 1982 by Resolution No. 6794, establishing the estimated fair market value of property. B. June 5, 1984 Council approved Park-in-Lieu revisions. 1. Persons per dwelling unit changed to reflect the current census changes. 2. New dwelling unit types were introduced to provide greater definition and clarity. 3. The Fee Schedule required no change. The value of land had not substantially increased. The figures of $87,000 and $109,000 were presented as adequate and remained in effect. C. November 19, 1985 an increase of land values for Park-in-Lieu fees based on the Consumer Price Index of 6.1% was requested in agenda -bill format. The City Attorney questioned the validity of using the CPI to increase the fair market value and suggested using another source. D. April 4, 1986 staff prepared a report which described how similar municipalities regulated PIL increases and contacted several agencies which provided economic indicators with regards to the increase and/or decrease of land values within the past year. ATTACHMENT E David Bradstreet July 10, 1986 Page 2 Because this study indicated a substantial increase in land values, the report concluded with a recommendation to immediately increase the land value figures by 20%, employ the services of a real estate appraiser to re-evaluate the 20% increase and adjust the appraiser's figure on a quarterly basis. E. June 10, 1986 to further justify staff's recommended 20% increase of the existing land value figures, the services of Richard A. Fuller M.A.I., appraiser and consultant, were employed to perform a market data study of vacant land sales within the four City of Carlsbad Park Districts. Based on this appraiser's findings, the following action with regards to land value figures is recommended: RECOMMENDATION; In an attempt to simplify and provide a more equitable appropria- tion and distribution of Park-in-Lieu fees to benefit the people of Carlsbad in terms of providing park and recreation facilities, staff is recommending averaging the estimated fair market value of an acre of land within each of Carlsbad's four park districts to create an average fair market value figure City-wide. Based on a study performed by Richard Fuller, appraiser and consultant, the new figure representing the average estimated fair market value for an acre of land in Carlsbad will be $157,250. ALTERNATIVES; 1. Average Fair Market Value City-Wide As determined by the market data study, based upon the total number of sales (56 sales from January 85 through May 86), the total sale price ($23,939,500) divided by the total number of acres (152.23). $157,250 average estimated fair market value City-wide. 2. Average Fair Market Value Per District As determined by the market data study, performed by a qualified real estate appraiser, the average value per acre in each park district based upon the total price for all sale parcels within each district divided by the total acreage for all sale parcels is as follows: District I, NW Quadrant $319,000 per acre District II, NE Quadrant 76,000 per acre District III, SW Quadrant 102,000 per acre District IV, SE Quadrant 165,000 per acre David Bradstreet July 10, 1986 Page 3 3.

(Market Data Study) David Bradstreet July 10, 1986 Page 4 FISCAL IMPACT By implementing staff's recommendation of Alternative 1, utilizing an average estimated fair market value per acre of land city-wide at $157,250, the following fiscal impact with regards to park-in- lieu fees will occur. Calculation example SFD for areas 1, 2, 3, & 4: Park acreage standard 3.0 ac/1000 residents = .0003 acres x 43,560 sq. ft. = 130.7 ft. per person x per SFDU 3.0 = 393 per person x land value of ($157,250 * 43,560 sq.ft.) 3.61 per sq.ft. = $1,418.73 per each SFDU. Revised fees and comparison to existing fees: Current Value District 1, 2, & 3 District 4 $ 87,000 109,000 Average Estimated Value City-Wide $157,250 157,250 Revised P.I.L. Fees A. Single Family Detached & Duplex (0 lot line or attached wall) B. Attached Single Family (4 units or less attached) C. Attached Multiple Family (more than 4 units) D. Mobile Homes Current Value Dist. 1,2,3 Dist. 4 $786 $983 $656 $524 $458 $820 $655 $573 Increase Dist. 1,2,3, & 4 $1,419 $1,184 $ 946 $ 827 David Bradstreet July 10, 1986 Page 5 DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS Staff feels Alternative I would be the most equitable and beneficial alternative to implement at this time because the current land value figures were instituted in February 1982 and reviewed but not increased in June, 1984. An in- crease of 6.1% was requested in November of 1985 but was referred back to staff for further analysis. A preliminary report in April of 1986 indicated a higher increase would be merited. A market data study by a qualified appraiser in July of 1986 substantiated that claim. Using an average estimated fair market value for an acre of land, city-wide, rather than by quadrant or district was recommended because the market data survey showed District 2 and 3 had the smallest data base and therefore was subject to the greatest degree of error. As you will note from the district averages, 2 and 3 also had the lowest land value figures. Land value figures in district 1 were noticeably higher primarily due to the downtown business district and proximity to the ocean. It is felt that District 1 did not accurately represent land value figures within the city but could not be discredited in determining the overall average of District 1, 2, 3, and 4. District 4 had a wide variety of represented sales in the market data study which would be subject to a much lessor degree of error. Considering its proximity to the ocean, it is interesting to note, without making any assumptions, the similarity in price of the average estimated land value in District 4 at $165,000 and the combined average land value figures of Districts 1, 2, and 3 at $165,666. Further consideration of having one average estimated fair narket value figure to be utilized in the Park-in Lieu schedule is rec- ommended due to the simplicity of fee computation. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Chapter 20.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, which deals with dedication of land for recreational facilities, more specifically section .080, addresses the amount of fee in lieu of land dedication. Ordinance 20.44.080 states, "Where a fee is required to be paid in lieu of land dedication, the amount of such fee shall be paid upon the fair market value of the amount of land which would otherwise be required to be dedicated according to the City's park acreage standard. The fair market value shall be determined at the time the fees are paid based upon the average estimated fair market value for the park area of the city within which the subdivision is located. The City Council may establish park areas and the average estimated fair market David Bradstreet July 10, 1986 Page 6 value of land within each such park area by resolution. This average estimated fair market value shall be adjusted annually by the City' to reflect any changes in property value within the park "If the subdivider objects to such valuation, he may, at his expense, obtain an appraisal of the property by a qualified real estate appraiser approved by the City, which appraisal may be accepted by the City Council if found to be reasonable. If accepted, the fee shall be based on that appraisal instead of the average estimate." Staff feels a need exists to adjust land value figures currently being used by the City in its Park-in-Lieu dedication requirements. Expediency in this matter is utmost as it is currently resulting in a net loss of park land and/or money for the City of Carlsbad. KB/kw cc: Ray Patchett, Assistant City Manager June 19, 1986 TO: DAVID BRADSTREET, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR FROM: LYNN CHASE, RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT BRISTOL COVE BOAT & SKI CLUB TOURNAMENT REPORT This report is intended to provide feedback to the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council on the Water Skiing Tournaments conducted by Bristol Cove Boat & Ski Club in Agua Hedionda Lagoon on the following dates (Sundays): January 19, February 16, March 16, April 20, and May 18, 1986. The Ski Club request/received approval to conduct the tournaments from the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council. The Mayor's response to the Parks & Recreation Commission dated March 19, 1985, stated, "The Bristol Cove Boat and Ski Club use of the lagoon will be an important program for us to watch - the number of boats participating, hours of racing, noise complaints, etc." Recommendations; It is recommended by the Lagoon Patrol Specialist that approval be given to Bristol Cove Boat & Ski Club to conduct water skiing tournaments in the future subject to their agreement that all tournaments be conducted between October 1st and mid-March (prior to Easter vacation). See Discussion item number 7 for reasons for the recommendation to change the tournament dates. Discussion; 1. A special tournament course is set up extending from the East Channel, adjacent to the sandbar to Snug Harbor Marina, as shown on the diagram. See Attachment A. 2. Snug Harbor is restricted to tournament activity. All non-contest boaters must taxi wakeless to and from their ski area through the West Channel. 3. Time and Hours: The tournaments which lasted approximately four hours each date, started promptly at 8:00 a.m. and usually ended at 12:00 noon, depending on the number of contestants. 4. Number of Boats: Usually three tournament boats are involved; one tow boat, one judging and recovery boat and one back-up boat. All boats had 1986 Lagoon Use Permits and met California registration and boating law requirements ATTACHMENT F Bristol Cove Boat & Ski Club Tournament Report 6/19/86 Page Two Discussion continued 5. Number of Contestants: Between 10 and 30 contestants; participants came from Bristol Cove Boat & Ski Club, Long Beach Boat & Ski Club, local unattached entries, and others. 6. Noise Complaints: No complaints due to the quality of boats used in the tournaments; Master Craft Inboards. 7. Impact on other lagoon users: There was definitely a negative effect on other lagoon users due to such a large restricted area used for the tournaments. This left a relatively small area for recreational use until approx- imately noon when the contest ended. This was especially evident on the contests dates 4/20/86 and 5/18/86 because of the amount of boaters wanting to enjoy recreational water activities. 8. Impact on Snug Harbor Marina Owners/Operators: Since the Marina clientele were primarily not participating in the ski tournaments, their usual business was impacted negatively, especially during April and May. 9. Recommend change in tournament dates: Move ski tourna- ments dates to late fall and winter/spring months only, ending prior to Easter vacation. If tournaments were conducted from October through March, a total of six tournaments could be conducted. 10. Fiscal Impact: As the Patrol Boat was already in the water, there was no direct fiscal impact; the Patrol Specialist was scheduled to work the weekend this year starting in January 1986.

THE APPARENT LOW BIDDER FOR PHASE I CONSTRUCTION OF CALAVERA HILLS COMMUNITY PARK sr-f<S DEPT. HD. 33^ CITY ATTvV/^ CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council accept staff's alternative number three; declare Chamac Inc. the apparent low bidder and authorize staff and RSI to negotiate with Chamac Inc. for a reduction of development cost associated with the grading specifications for construction of Calavera Hills Community Park. BACKGROUND; Five (5) bid proposals for Phase I development of Calavera Hills Community Park were opened on June 6, 1986. The apparent low bidder, Chamac Inc., bid of $1,337,836 was $338,836 over the architect's February 1986, estimate of $999,000 for Phase I construction of the Community Park. Phase I includes grading of the entire 18 acre park site and site development of the southern eight (8) acres only. ALTERNATIVES; 1. Accept the apparent low bid of $1,337,836. Award contract. This alternative will require an additional allocation of $745,336. The park development completion date of March 1987, will remain on line. 2. Reject all bids, direct RSI to prepare design alternatives, at no cost to the City, that will reflect a lower develop- ment cost, re-advertise and re-bid. This alternative may require a scope change in the design of the park, i.e. A. Grade entire park site (18 acres), develop the south section (8 acres) only, provide fill dirt for the north section in Phase II. B. Redesign park to eliminate certain amenities such as the lighting systems on two (2) ballfields, tot lot and or picnic area. The intent of the above scope change (A and B) is to bring the cost of the park in line with RSI's estimate of $999,000. This alternative will require an additional allocation of at least $365,500 and may delay the completion of the park by 60 days (June 1987) . 3. Declare Chamac Inc. as the apparent low bidder, direct staff to negotiate for reduction of costs by adjusting the grading specifications. Negotiations are not to exceed a period of O 21 days. ATTACHMENT G Agenda Bill No. Page Two Special provisions for all City contracts, as outlined in the "Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction" (Green Book), allow for negotiations of reduction in develop- ment costs. The maximum reduction which can be negotiated is 25% of the base bid. By negotiating with the contractor, RSI feels they can re- duce the cost of the project by approximately $200,000 with- out changing the scope. This alternative will require an additional allocation of $515,011 and may delay the project completion by 30 days (April 1987). Contingent upon the success of negotiations, the City will have the option to award the contract to Chamac Inc. or re- ject all bids, redesign and re-advertise for the Phase I construction of Calavera Hills Community Park. RECOMMENDATION; Due to the bids coming in 33% to 50% over RSI's estimate and in order that the project will have a minimal construction delay, staff recommends that the City Council approve alternative number three (3); declaring Chamac Inc. as the apparent low bidder, and authorize staff to negotiate for a reduction in Phase I development costs. The negotiations are not to exceed a period of 21 days. DISCUSSION; An analysis of the existing bids indicate that the grading portion of the contract is the main reason the construction of Phase I is 33% to 50% higher than RSI's estimate. More specifically, the removal of rock and the import of clean fill material were a very high cost item in all the bids. Staff feels that RSI, the City's Park Planning Consultant, at no cost to the City, could either negotiate a cost reduction in the project from the apparent low bidder by changing the grading specifications or change the scope of the park, submit design alternatives to reduce park construction cost and come in line with the original cost estimate of $999,000. Staff suggests that negotiation with the contractor would be the best alternative to pursue because it may lower the original low bidders construction cost and it will have only a minimal delay as compared with the redesign alternative which would delay the project completion date 60 days or longer.

ITEM EXPLANATION; Phase I of the 18 acre Calavera Hills Community Park consists of grading the entire park site and providing site improvements for the southern eight acres. Site improvements will include two lighted ballfields, a restroom/concession stand, a tot lot, walkways, parking and landscaping. Phase II will be constructed at a later date after the northern portion of the park has been dedicated by the owner. It will include a community center/gymnasium, two lighted tennis courts, one lighted ballfield with soccer overlay, lighted basketball courts, picnic area, as well as walkways, parking and landscaping. Plans and specifications for Phase I have been completed and approved. Plans and specifications for Phase II are nearly complete and will be "shelf ready" when construction of Phase II can be initiated. Pacific Scene is in the process of constructing the remainder of Tamarack Avenue as well as half street improvements on Elm Avenue and Glasgow surrounding the Park. Their schedule for completion is the beginning of July. At that time the City's contractor will start grading the park. Completion of Phase I of the park is estimated at the beginning of February 1987. FISCAL IMPACT; -CONSTRUCTION The following is the updated cost estimate by Recreation Systems and City staff for Phase I of Calavera Hills Community Park. Construction cost figures are based on estimates developed in February 1986. The current appropriation of $1,038,500 was developed during 83-84 CIP budget allocation and did not include funds for inspection and admini- stration costs. The figures below are in line with costs incurred at Stagecoach Community Park currently being built.

PATRICIA CRATTY PC:sh ATTACHMENT H RECE1VED JI'!'. 0 M986May 31- 1986 HONORABLE MARY CASLER, Mayor City of Carlsbad CA. 92008 Dear Mary: I am writing to you as a private citizen and not as Secretary and Director of Agua Hedionda Home Owners Association. My wife and I reside at 821-C Kalpati in The Papagayo Section of the Windsong Cove Development. A piece of property, referred to as "Unit #5", is located on the north shore of Agua Hedionda, opposite the San Diego Gas & Electric Power Plant and belongs to Sears Savings Bank, the Developer. The approximate value of the land is $6 Million Dollars. I under- stand that Sears doesn't intend to develop this land at the present time. This is one of the last pieces of lagoon property available and perhaps some consideration should be given for the purchase of the property by the City of Carlsbad for civic use. Passage of Proposition A3 may possibly provide a financing vehicle to finance the purchase. I do believe that there is inadequate parking at Sears' Windsong Cove which could be resolved at the same time. If you think this project has any merit, I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Other than ownership in this one unit, I have no financial involvement in this property.

Congratulations and thanks to the many staff members and community volunteers that helped make this year's Triathlon the best yet! Construction of Stagecoach Community Park is well underway. Many of the park amenities are taking shape. Staff is currently working on a slope stabilization problem located at the southeast section of the park. It is not anticipated to cause a delay in the completion date. Fuerte Park was dedicated June 21, 1986. Dedication ceremonies marked the opening of one of many park development projects currently underway. The park was built by the Parks Division and received assistance from the Utilities Maintenance Department. Staff received many compliments for this park development project. Congratulations on a job well done! Bids for the construction of Phase I Calavera Hills Community Park were high. At the July 15, 1986 Council meeting, all bids were rejected and direction was given to redesign the park with emphasis being placed on the grading design and not the elimination of any of the park amenities. After a redesign, the project will go out for rebid. The Parks Division is currently in the process of landscaping the new parking lot at the north side of the Chamber of Commerce. They are also landscaping the Atrium at the new Safety Center. Reekie Franco and Jesse Campa have been provisionally appointed to Park Maintenance Worker I positions. This will fill current vacancies in the Parks Division.
