DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORT:

15. AB #20,372 - ALGA NORTE COMMUNITY PARK. To consider construction of Alga Norte Community Park and directing staff accordingly. Resolution No. 2010-233. ACTION:

John Coates and Mark Steyaert reviewed power point presentation on file in the office of the city clerk. Whole project on hold because of recession. Grading portion is mostly complete. discussed the study that has been ordered. Complete code compliance review to make sure all plans are current up to code, 1-2 months. Complete operation impact study 4 months, receive council direction. If council concurs with this approach, adopted resoultion. Packard questions:

A year ago council majority decided to hold off on the the total project. which is still a challenge. with the current economy and with policy changes, is staff comfortable saying that we have at this point anticipated revenues to operate the part without exceeding operating budget. John had Kevin branca to answer.

KB ten year forecast 2013-2014, can be put in the budge at that point. In budget projections, have you adjusted calcs to reflect changes like pension costs.? Mark? Kevin said yes they were included. Packard clarifying 2013-2014 budget can cover the operating costs? KB said yes we are balanced but its tight and surplus is very tight.

Mayor - 2013 budget, clarifying the costs and policy changes for the pensions. with those calcuations and projections. Keith, this reso does not approve the beginning of the consturciont right? JC said it just gives staff approval to start preparing and bring staff back to council with findings of study.

Mayor- isn't this going to if approved, when staff comes back, JC study will identify each amenitiy and the potential use by residents and costs, etc. and demographics. Mayor-at last hearing, aquatics instructor, said other areas would want to use our pool will that be part of the study? JC yes that's part of what the consulting team will look into. school districts etc. Mayor said ymca might also be interested? JC said yes.

Jim Comstock, Carlsbad, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, chairman, all in support of building this pool. they understand the issues with this but ask them to move it forward. Then speaking personally, thanked them for not building when we didn't have money to build it or operate it. Applaud you for fiscal discipline in waiting.

mayor said we will build it. but have to do it when the timing is right. doesn't agree with using the savings from construction to operate the swim complex. Ron Ball prop c was not an advisory vote, it was an authorization to spend, didn't not order the council to build. arose from prop h in '81. Torreto added, make sure the pool meets the needs of the residents.

John Wantz, Carlsbad, Candidate for Council. Spoke in support of moving forward with building the pool complex.

Scott Chasin, carlsbad, spoke in support of building the swim complex. spoke about city investments. federal agents bonds. it is not just a swimming pool, its several other fields that would add to tourist and other cost benefits. He said our sporting groups are the best in the area and our facilities don't match that in quality. Not having a nice pool is a disservice to the city and residents.

TK Arnold and Hunter Arnold, Carlsbad, spoke in support of building the swim complex.

No questions. Mayor, responded to the number of dollars in reserves. How do we use them? Lisa, had Kevin explain - in the general fund the reserves 51.4 million and used at council discretions. other funds have other requirements. those funds can only be used for those specific purposes some restricted Packard-this isn't the "last" project to build - 12 CIP budgets. Mc Bride - 96 million in unfunded projects. see slide from presentation, ask john if i can't find it. showing that even though we have funds we have other projects that need to be built. McBride said its at council discretion.

blackburn - reserves 51 mill. clarifying that reserves 51 isn't the same as the 51 mill set aside . McBride response, comparing cash portfolio is different than reserves. What does Lorraine want here. Ron pointed out the report on city investments which is item 9 on this agenda, regulated by state and available to public on website. MH - projected expenditures vs projected revenues, McBride showed a slide. if we didn't make adjustments we would have had deficits in the 20+million range. Matt said we are finally going in the right direction.

Blackburn, when council voted to not begin construction, but approved rough grading. Issues, rough grading may give some surprises. talked about budget. and now a year later, grading complete came in less than budgeted. This reso is just the next step. not giving the go ahead just next step and he supports adopting the reso. Packard - can we start building and not know that we can finish it? staff says the resources are there so he supports it going to the next step. Hall - the whole council has supported it but lots of discussion about when and about the particulars. Supports the reso.

Mayor said he can support as well. spoke about why they built the monroe pool so small. if staff says we can do it and do it right without financial harm. matt motion keith second.

No report. Ron announced about the closed sessions. No action to report as this time. Lorraine made announcements.

JC said it just gives staff approval to start preparing and bring staff back to council with findings of study.

Mayor- isn't this going to if approved, when staff comes back, JC study will identify each amenitiy and the potential use by residents and costs, etc. and demographics.

Then speaking personally, thanked them for not building when we didn't have money to build it or operate it. Applaud you for fiscal discipline in waiting.

mayor said we will build it. but have to do it when the timing is right. doesn't agree with using the savings from construction to operate the swim complex. Ron Ball prop c was not an advisory vote, it was an authorization to spend, didn't not order the council to build. arose from prop h in '81. Torreto added, make sure the pool meets the needs of the residents.

John Wantz, Carlsbad, Candidate for Council. Spoke in support of moving forward with building the pool complex.

Scott Chasin, carlsbad, spoke in support of building the swim complex. spoke about city investments. federal agents bonds. it is not just a swimming pool, its several other fields that would add to tourist and other cost benefits.

No questions. Mayor, responded to the number of dollars in reserves. How do we use them? Lisa, had Kevin explain - in the general fund the reserves 51.4 million and used at council discretions. other funds have other requirements. those funds can only be used for those specific purposes some restricted Packard-this isn't the "last" project to build - 12 CIP budgets. Mc Bride - 96 million in unfunded projects. see slide from presentation, ask john if i can't find it. showing that even though we have funds we have other projects that need to be built. McBride said its at council discretion.

What does Lorraine want here. Ron pointed out the report on city investments which is item 9 on this agenda, regulated by state and available to public on website. MH - projected expenditures vs projected revenues, McBride showed a slide. if we didn't make adjustments we would have had deficits in the 20+million range. Matt said we are finally going in the right direction.

Blackburn, when council voted to not begin construction, but approved rough grading. Issues, rough grading may give some surprises. talked about budget. and now a year later, grading complete came in less than budgeted.

Packard - can we start building and not know that we can finish it? staff says the resources are there so he supports it going to the next step. Hall - the whole council has supported it but lots of discussion about when and about the particulars. Supports the reso.
