A straight transfer to the City without conditions.
A transfer to the City with conditions,
A transfer to the City as part of a negotiated agreement
between the District and City.
Mr. Shafer went on to say the third alternative was the one he
recommended since it would offer both the District and the City a
completed plan including how its parcel was to be used, and
improvements financed and maintained. He said he recommended that
any proposal put forward, be by initiative of voters in the
District.
Mary Renaker of Cottonwood Creek Association spoke in support of
the Moonlight Creek Park Association proposal.
Judy Thorgeirsson spoke in favor of the Ballot Initiative and asked
the Board to vote for a park at Moonlight Creek.
George Gowland representing DEMA, suggested a study be done before
deciding on the location of a park at Moonlight Creek.
John Stubstad spoke in favor of the Moonlight Creek Park proposal
and asked the Board to approve the initiative without the citizens
petitions.
Lloyd O'Connell representing the Historical society spoke in favor
of the Moonlight Creek Park proposal.
Kevin Marr representing the Radisson Inn voiced his support for the
Moonlight Creek Park Association proposal.
Cheryl Wierwille representing the Moonlight Creek Park Association,
spoke in fav~r of the Moonlight Creek Park proposal.
Brad Langager also spoke in favor of the Moonlight Creek Park
proposal.
Board Member Omsted said she could not agree to put the initiative
on the ballot in its proposed form and said the conditions attached
would make it impossible for the City to develop the park. She
said since it is a citizens initiative, the citizens should
collect signatures to put it on the ballot.
The consensus was that the matter could be put on the November
ballot, but that should be done by means of citizen petitions.
Board Member Slater suggested appointing a sub-committee of Board
Members to work with the citizens group to help them work it out.

Consideration of Relocation of Recyclinq Yard to Encinitas
Sanitary District.
District Manager Shafer told the Board the City had been looking
for a new location for the recycling yard for the past seven months
and identified five possible relocation sites.
He said he hoped the city could reach an agreement with the county
in finding additional space at the existing site. However, without
the agreement, the issue was still pending.
Brooke Nash of Solana Recyclers told the Board the City Use Permit
would expire June 30,1990, but the lease had been extended through
September 30, 1990.
Board Member Gaines said nothing should be done until the decision
from the County is made. Further, until the County's decision is
made she did not want to act on picking another site.

Mr. B. smith asked where the $2200. per month for clean up services
was coming from and said he was opposed to the District's spending
$31,000 for 90 days to patrol the area.
David Aring of Excalibur Services told the Board he had a lot of
experience in this type of work and said his firm could handle the
responsibility.
Joe Canales of Carlsbad Security Patrol told the Board he had
worked with migrant workers since 1983 and one of the biggest
assets his company could offer is that his officers are bilingual.
Bob Graham of Target Services told the Board they are currently
providing the cleanup at the Sanitary District property and had
made a proposal as a caretaker not a security service. He said the
fecal material problem had not subsided, but the trash problem had.
Slater moved to include security service starting with 24 hours a
day for at least one week than trying 16 hours per day; assessing
the situation after one week and if necessary going back to 24
hours; authorizing the District Manager to negotiate a security
service contract for up to $31,000 for a 90 day period; and
appropriating $31,000 from General Fund Reserve to fund the service
contract.
Slater amended the motion by adding "negotiating for a contract
with Carlsbad security Patrol and should that not prove fruitful,
then trying one of the other firms: and sending a letter to the
adj acent property owners advising them of the City's proposed
action. " Hano seconded. Motion carried. Ayes: Gaines, Hano,
Slater; Nays: Omsted, Shea.
