OLD BUSINESS:
Joint Use Agreement with Encinitas Union School District
for Levante School/Park.
David Bradstreet, Director of Parks and Recreation, gave a
staff report on the matter; and read a letter from Donald
E. Lindstrom, Superintendent of Schools, to the City Manager
dated July 2, 1981. Director Bradstreet gave some background
on the events that led to the receipt of the letter, and
indicated that he would be taking the matter to the City
Council with the concerns of the Encinitas School District;
requesting acceptance and adoption of the agreement as
written, with the amendment to Item No. 7.
Mr. Bradstreet indicated that this was an informational item
only, and he had asked Council Member Anear to be present,
in the absence of Council Liaison Lewis.
Discussion reflected page 4 of the agreement, item 7, with
regard to the City's inclusion of the wording "with exception
of the building," in the second sentence.
Council Member Anear indicated that the School District could
give the City two weeks notice and take over the building if
the agreement is accepted with item 7 as written, and he is
in objection to that.
Commissioner Wright stated his opinion that the City is
attempting to cover itself because the School District worded
the agreement poorly, which left it open that they could
feasibly take over the building, creating a misunderstanding.
Following discussion, the Commission recommended that Staff
take the matter back to the Encinitas School District, in
attempt to re-work all of item 7 of the agreement.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES;
Minutes of the Regular Meeting, held June 22, 1981, were
approved as submitted.
NEW BUSINESS;
San Marcos Creek Park
Due to a conflict of interest, Vice-Chairman Murk indicated
that he would abstain on this item.
The abstention of Vice-Chairman Murk created lack of a
quorum; therefore, the matter was presented as an information-
al item.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
July 20, 1981 Page 2 COMMISSIONERS
Director Bradstreet reported that he is in the process of
working a new agreement with the La Costa/Daon Corporation.
Their Master Plan has already been before the Commission and
the Council, and has been adopted, and now requires an
agreement between them. There has been an agreement between
the City and La Costa as far as their parks are concerned.
He referred to a wall exhibit, and explained that Staff has
recommended the trade of El Camino Glenns, Alga, and La
Costa North, which totals 21 acres; for Alga Norte. He
indicated that same has been approved, and was supported by
the Consultants, who also recommended that the City not
develop San Marcos Creek which is not in that particular
agreement. Mr. Bradstreet continued that he wanted to get
it back into the agreement, and write a letter to the Daon
corporation with a recommendation that if the City gets out
of that particular 15.3 acre park site, they would like to
expand Stagecoach, expand Alga, or obtain the fee to develop
one of the sites.
Director Bradstreet indicated that the site is very
undevelopable, and Staff is recommending that the Commission
approve trading, exchanging, or taking the fee in lieu of
the proposed park site.
Occidental - Lot 17
With the aid of a wall exhibit showing the proposed park
land, David Bradstreet presented the staff report on the
matter.
Following discussion on the matter, the Commission recommend-
ed not to accept Lot 17 in the Covington Development, and
encouraged Staff to negotiate the irrevocable offer of a
public trail easement.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT;
Letter from Citizen regarding Levante Park
Director Bradstreet referred to the letter received from
a citizen regarding a radio announcement inviting the public
to come and watch the softball teams in action at Levante
Park, and he indicated that Staff has responded to same.
Staff also indicated that they had received a telephone call
informing the Department that the softball league was
holding a tournament, in which there was prize money of
approximately $2200.
Following discussion on the matter, the Commission directed
Staff to diligently work on contacting the softball organi-
zations, giving them notification to curtail the problem
causing issues; i.e., parking and tournament playing.
Swim Complex
Director Bradstreet reported that the swim complex is coming
along nicely; however, it is going to be delayed, and the
completion date will be approximately another four to six
weeks.
