Proposition E
(THIS PROPOSITION WILL APPEAR ON THE BALLOT IN THE FOLLOWING FORM)
Do the voters of the City of Carlsbad approve spending $15.2 million dollars to build a Public
Safety and Service Center on City owned land? The center will include police and fire head-
quarters, shops and service yards, parking, offices, a purchasing warehouse and fire station. This
measure does not authorize any new taxes nor increase any existing taxes. No phase of
construction will be started unless sufficient funds are on hand.
CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
Section 1.24.030 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Proposition H) requires approval by a majority
Of Carlsbad's voters voting at an election before the City may spend more than one million dollars
of City funds on public buildings. The City proposes to construct a public safety and service
center consisting of a police and fire headquarters, shops, service yards, parking, offices, a
purchasing warehouse and- a fire station. The center will be built on land already owned by the
City located near the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El
Camino Real. The cost is estimated to be $15.2 million. The center may be built at one time or in
phases. Construction of all or part of the center may not start unless sufficient funds are on hand
for such construction.
This measure does not authorize any new taxes in the City nor increase any existing taxes.
A yes vote on the measure would authorize the City to construct the center.
A no vote would withhold such authorization.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E
THIS MEASURE DOES NOT AUTHORIZE ANY NEW TAXES OR INCREASE ANY EXISTING TAXES.
One of the most important issues facing our community is maintaining our standard of excellence
in PUBLIC SAFETY.
The PUBLIC SAFETY AND SERVICE CENTER will be built on city owned land in the geographic
center of the City. It will house police, fire and maintenance services so they may be dispatched
throughout Carlsbad. We need the PUBLIC SAFETY AND SERVICE CENTER proposed by the
City.

The total project is estimated to cost $15.2 million. More than half of the money is already
available in Capital Improvement funds. The primary source of the balance of the funds needed
will be' from development fees.
Proposition E is fiscally sound as no phase of construction will be started unless sufficient funds
are on hand. o
In terms of safety, service, and taxpayer dollars, building the PUBLIC SAFETY AND SERVICE
CENTER for the citizens and taxpayers of Carlsbad makes good sense.
