DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
15. AB #19,809 - PRESENTATION FROM NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT. To receive a budget presentation from Matt Tucker from North County Transit District. ACTION:
ab19809
Matt Tucker from NCTD gave a report and reviewed a power point presentation.
NCTD Budget Update. Background, why doesn't public transit make a profit, it's to offer a public service.
Advent of DDEisenhower changed privatized transit because of highway interstates? Missed that.
capital costa, operating costs. capital money is easy to derive. operating costs is difficult to acquire.
Transit Schizophrenia-highest transit ridership over last 2 years.
Now faced wi/ have to cut transit because of economic issues.
Everyone is haveing financial problems so they have a hard to get transit funding.
5 year outlook, deficit 15 m $$.
Assumes about 10.5 m from california. HEavily impacted by downturn in the economy because of funding, enough riders but need more funding from govt. it is a public agency, not a private business.
flat sales tax projections over the next several years. not episodic but structural. loss of state revenue is permanent.
lay off 263 drivers, lay off 75 maintenance to balance budget by 2013.
nctd must live with existnig public funding streams. first priority is to tdeliver trancsit services. All options are on the table to balance our budget.
How are they responding, innovating and reshaping buisness plan. financial and performance analysis of NCTD and it's business units. will explore all options to reduce costs while mitigating impacts to customers. diverifying revenue sources. exploring opportunities to increase revenue. Lessons to be learned.
one time and epsodic funding is good and may be a biable alternative but resluts in transit schizophrenia if a long term solutino is not ultimatley implemented. both the state and the federal gobt have clearly indicatred they are not interested in funding transit operating costs.
Transportation funding like our personal finances; requires a diversified fudngin and investment strategies.
NExt several months, key milestones coming, significant imput from the community, asking public for feedback about making it better.
Ann-comment, MR. Tucker, good success. The people who need the services don't have high rider ship in their area.
Mayor, the newest train from oside to exscondido, sprinter, coaster and sprinter will stll be there. How about the buses. ? cutting the routes?
Matt Tucker says they have too much invested in it. Not a high enough level of services with trains leaveing every 30 mintues. Practially speaking, going to have to reduce the cost keeping the scheduled the same, same level of service and improve service, every 15 or 20 minutes instead of 30 min. Maybe need smaller buses for lower ridership areas, circulator to contect people to train stations and high bus ridership areas.
16. AB #19,810 - OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM REPORT. To receive a report from the Planning Department on the City of Carlsbad's Open Space Acquisition Program. ACTION:

Reviewed a map of open space in cArlsbad as of 2/25/09. Also contains areas to consider for acquisitions.
Current and future open spcae as of february 2009. At build out, the projection is to have 40% open space.
over 76% open space is open undeveloped land, currently.
in 86, growth management was a huge issue to the citizens of Carlsbad.
Later a committee developed a conservation reseource managment plan guide. Early 90's nccp natural communities conservation plan. Sandage multiple habitiat conservation program. MHCP. City of Carlsbad Habitat Managment Plan. City pope space mangement plan.
Too many urban threats, over watering, roaming pets, invasive species. open space management plan was developed.
prop c ad hoc committee what properties would be good to acquire. 2001 ballot measure, allowed council to spend $$ on open space and trail acquisition.
13 properties nominated and ranked. Presented to council and they established there own criteria. Asked staff to consider benefit to community and to HMP. benefit to city wide trail system, potentional land use conflicts, for mitigation credit and willing seller involved.
AFter final report, directed staff to consider 3 different areas, 11 properties, sunny creek area south auga hedionda area, state properties.
32 properties evaluated-5 sellers willing to discuss w/ council. Sherman property, calavera hills, villag h mitsuuchi properti poinsettia vernal pools, brodiaea preserve of ECR.

Village H was nominated tied for second ranking by open spae committee, city council soncidered benefit to HMP Trails and open space system as well as land use conflic. Master plan already secures 94% as open space and public trail will be exacted concurrent with development.
Decided to pass on that property because it already does what we would want from the open space.
They have a website for open space acquisition, etc. HMP website, www.carlsbadhmp.org.
staff available to rank newly nominated property.
previous council direct to receive outside funding for open space aquisition. SEction 6 money federal funding. open space acquisiton, was received, County also got some land or money from Southeast of city.
CDFG also helps decide were that money goes. matching funds possible.

Grim doesn't know exact area availabe, 2 large parcels, shaped like panhandle, active quarry is currently being reclaimes. western is south of bvep. near village h, between preserve and village h would provide a corridor of open space. Mcmillian is the owener and would be willing to sell portion of the property. Would section 6 funding apply blackburn asked? Grim said yes, priority #2 on the application.
application for section 6 funding.
Blackburn suggested that we move forward investigating this option. to mayor, Mayor says there is limited access to carlsba residents, more access to oceanside residents.
Are we looknig for properties out side of cbad- or acces takes them outside of cbad. Grim said only in carlbad but coordinate with neighbors.
Yet to do any trail planning in that area, volunteer trails do exist there. would work with cdfg to develop trails. Good to get people out there but the problem is sensitive habitat exposed to more of the public.
Surpsiningly enough some of the area that is open and looks undevelopable can be built on , grim told mayor in response to an inquiry. Coast commission won't allow access mayor asked. rim said we have permenat authroity, only the uphill part.
property village h. 60 acres only can develop 3 acres as zoned. mayor pointed out that it is already zoned in a way to keep it open.
victoria and CVD is the only area that can be developed, right on the corner.
Mayor quarry creek, it's just difficult to access by the public why not swap with oside since they do alot with policing and development of that are.

City does lots of studies, and forms committess and the highest issue in surveys but the city still doesn't purchase any land. Placed it on priority lists. Earmark a third of prop C money for pure open space. Staff doesn't have expertise in open space acquisition. City has to move quickly.

recognize sensitive issues of these purchases. Hold staff accountable for buying land-2 a year until the list is complete. Direct staff to make it a real priority.

DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
15. AB #19,809 - PRESENTATION FROM NORTH COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT. To receive a budget presentation from Matt Tucker from North County Transit District. ACTION:
ab19809
Matt Tucker from NCTD gave a report and reviewed a power point presentation.
NCTD Budget Update. Background, why doesn't public transit make a profit, it's to offer a public service.
Advent of DDEisenhower changed privatized transit because of highway interstates? Missed that.
capital costa, operating costs. capital money is easy to derive. operating costs is difficult to acquire.
Transit Schizophrenia-highest transit ridership over last 2 years.
Now faced wi/ have to cut transit because of economic issues.
Everyone is haveing financial problems so they have a hard to get transit funding.
5 year outlook, deficit 15 m $$.
Assumes about 10.5 m from california. HEavily impacted by downturn in the economy because of funding, enough riders but need more funding from govt. it is a public agency, not a private business.
flat sales tax projections over the next several years. not episodic but structural. loss of state revenue is permanent.
lay off 263 drivers, lay off 75 maintenance to balance budget by 2013.
nctd must live with existnig public funding streams. first priority is to tdeliver trancsit services. All options are on the table to balance our budget.
How are they responding, innovating and reshaping buisness plan. financial and performance analysis of NCTD and it's business units. will explore all options to reduce costs while mitigating impacts to customers. diverifying revenue sources. exploring opportunities to increase revenue. Lessons to be learned.
one time and epsodic funding is good and may be a biable alternative but resluts in transit schizophrenia if a long term solutino is not ultimatley implemented. both the state and the federal gobt have clearly indicatred they are not interested in funding transit operating costs.
Transportation funding like our personal finances; requires a diversified fudngin and investment strategies.
NExt several months, key milestones coming, significant imput from the community, asking public for feedback about making it better.
Ann-comment, MR. Tucker, good success. The people who need the services don't have high rider ship in their area.
Mayor, the newest train from oside to exscondido, sprinter, coaster and sprinter will stll be there. How about the buses. ? cutting the routes?
Matt Tucker says they have too much invested in it. Not a high enough level of services with trains leaveing every 30 mintues. Practially speaking, going to have to reduce the cost keeping the scheduled the same, same level of service and improve service, every 15 or 20 minutes instead of 30 min. Maybe need smaller buses for lower ridership areas, circulator to contect people to train stations and high bus ridership areas.
16. AB #19,810 - OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM REPORT. To receive a report from the Planning Department on the City of Carlsbad's Open Space Acquisition Program. ACTION:

Current and future open spcae as of february 2009. At build out, the projection is to have 40% open space.
over 76% open space is open undeveloped land, currently.

Later a committee developed a conservation reseource managment plan guide. Early 90's nccp natural communities conservation plan. Sandage multiple habitiat conservation program. MHCP. City of Carlsbad Habitat Managment Plan. City pope space mangement plan.
Too many urban threats, over watering, roaming pets, invasive species. open space management plan was developed.
prop c ad hoc committee what properties would be good to acquire. 2001 ballot measure, allowed council to spend $$ on open space and trail acquisition.
13 properties nominated and ranked. Presented to council and they established there own criteria. Asked staff to consider benefit to community and to HMP. benefit to city wide trail system, potentional land use conflicts, for mitigation credit and willing seller involved.
AFter final report, directed staff to consider 3 different areas, 11 properties, sunny creek area south auga hedionda area, state properties.
32 properties evaluated-5 sellers willing to discuss w/ council. Sherman property, calavera hills, villag h mitsuuchi properti poinsettia vernal pools, brodiaea preserve of ECR.

Decided to pass on that property because it already does what we would want from the open space.
They have a website for open space acquisition, etc. HMP website, www.carlsbadhmp.org.
staff available to rank newly nominated property.
previous council direct to receive outside funding for open space aquisition. SEction 6 money federal funding. open space acquisiton, was received, County also got some land or money from Southeast of city.

Grim doesn't know exact area availabe, 2 large parcels, shaped like panhandle, active quarry is currently being reclaimes. western is south of bvep. near village h, between preserve and village h would provide a corridor of open space. Mcmillian is the owener and would be willing to sell portion of the property. Would section 6 funding apply blackburn asked? Grim said yes, priority #2 on the application.
application for section 6 funding.
Blackburn suggested that we move forward investigating this option. to mayor, Mayor says there is limited access to carlsba residents, more access to oceanside residents.
Are we looknig for properties out side of cbad- or acces takes them outside of cbad. Grim said only in carlbad but coordinate with neighbors.
Yet to do any trail planning in that area, volunteer trails do exist there. would work with cdfg to develop trails. Good to get people out there but the problem is sensitive habitat exposed to more of the public.
Surpsiningly enough some of the area that is open and looks undevelopable can be built on , grim told mayor in response to an inquiry. Coast commission won't allow access mayor asked. rim said we have permenat authroity, only the uphill part.
property village h. 60 acres only can develop 3 acres as zoned. mayor pointed out that it is already zoned in a way to keep it open.
victoria and CVD is the only area that can be developed, right on the corner.
Mayor quarry creek, it's just difficult to access by the public why not swap with oside since they do alot with policing and development of that are.

Jacqueline Bilquest, came forward to address Council in support of acquiring Village H.
IF you can't buy the property, let the public have access to the trail. But if they don't own the property how can they grant access.
Diane Nygaard, Oceanside, Preserve Calavera. Spoke in support of purchasing Village H.
City does lots of studies, and forms committess and the highest issue in surveys but the city still doesn't purchase any land. Placed it on priority lists. Earmark a third of prop C money for pure open space. Staff doesn't have expertise in open space acquisition. City has to move quickly.
Jump on properties w/ owners willing to sell, act quickly, hold a SANDAG workshop
recognize sensitive issues of these purchases. Hold staff accountable for buying land-2 a year until the list is complete. Direct staff to make it a real priority.
Mel Vernon, Escondido, came forward to address Council. Wants City to purchase accessible land for the public.
Accessiblelandthisisnowthetimetomoveforwardquitstalling!

Does the new owner want to sell it? Grim I don't know about that but we'll ask. They haven't said they want to sell. Mayor asked again-why do we want to buy the land when we can exact what we want. Mayor said we can exact then spend money on other property.
City has not acquisition above and beyond HMP any open space in 7 years? Mayor asked. Grim said is it correct
Hall asked about Qarry Creek. Blackburn and hall want to know about that property as well and asked for more infor. Mayor do we need to coordinate w/ oside?
