Executive Summary
The City of Carlsbad has a number of boards and commissions that provide valuable input to the City Council. The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires the city to list all of its local appointments to make sure the public is aware of the opportunities to participate on local advisory boards, committees and commissions, and to tap into the vast reservoir of talent in the community for these appointments.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file the Boards, Commissions and Committees Local Appointments List for 2024.
Explanation & Analysis
The Maddy Act requires each legislative body to prepare a local appointments list on or before Dec. 31 of each year that contains:
•The appointive terms that will be expiring during the next calendar year •The name of the incumbent appointee
•The date of appointment and the term expiration date
The law only requires that the list be made available to the public by posting on the city’s website or at local libraries. The City Clerk’s Office will post copies in these locations as well as at City Hall and will also publish the list twice in The Coast News newspaper before the Dec. 31, 2023, deadline.
Fiscal Analysis
The costs associated with publishing the notice in The Coast News were budgeted in the City Clerk’s Office fiscal year 2023-24 operating budget.

Next Steps
The City Clerk’s Office has prepared the annual list, which includes all board, commission and committee terms scheduled to expire during 2024.
The list will be published twice in a local newspaper and posted at City Hall, city libraries and on the city’s website before Dec. 31, 2023, in accordance with California Government Code Section 54973.
The City Clerk’s Office will accept applications for the listed appointments during 2024. These applications are available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office. The City Council will review the applications and make appointments as vacancies occur.
Members of boards, commissions and committees are subject to the provisions of the California Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interests and complete ethics training, as required by state law (Government Code Sections 53234-53235.2).
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore does not require environmental review.

Item 3 Comments, Carlsbad City council Mtg 12-05-2020
6.4 USER FEE RECOMMENDATIONS Staff should consider user fee recommendations for each of the following program areas. The overall fee structure should reflect the value of the experience and market rates. Adult Programs: Adult programs are priced higher than the comparison agencies. Higher fees reflect facility and experience quality. Review higher priced programs to ensure that those classes are priced to reflect the value they provide and ensure options for those participants who cannot afford premium prices. Sports: Review per unit costs for indoor pickleball classes and consider implementing tiered pricing like the City of Vista for advanced offerings. Aquatics: The per unit cost for aquatics programming does not reflect market rates nor the quality of the experience provided by a highly rated facility such as the Alga Norte Aquatic Center. Increase aquatic program fees to be in line with market and experience rates. Camps:
Offer high-q uality camps at competitive prices to attract and retain participants. While some prices may be higher than other agencies, it is important to ensure the prices are based on the quality of the experience that Carlsbad provides, which is higher quality than others. Learning and Development: Consider increasing per unit costs for early childhood classes to be aligned with market rates and the cost of providing services. Adult's 50+: Offer senior programs at competitive prices to attract and retain participants and explore ways to ensure affordable offerings that make these programs accessible. Youth Programs: Review per unit costs for youth programs and consider adjusting fees to be competitive with the other benchmarked departments, particularly the City of Encinitas and the City of Escondido.
Park & Rec Master Plan
Happy Holidays to all those concerned about making Carlsbad a friendlier place for Seniors even with the attitude that
Carlsbad is great already and deserves to charge more without providing the first class service that it once did!
Why do the appointments to the Boards and Commissions have to follow the "rules" established by????.
The appointments could be utilized as the eyes and ears and have more "power" to make suggestions based on
the feedback they hear from people who are too busy or too shy to speak up about the poor performances of the Staff
at the Senior Center or the Library. Some people just say Oh Well you can not City Hall or the City Mgr. improve some things
You can lead a horse to water but .....
Don't all segments of society deserve what other cities are providing with a happy heart and a Happy Sincere concern for others
Thanks,
1 Mary Lucid
