Item #9 Page 1 of 34

Several of the tasks in the 2024 work plans are either in process, recurring or ongoing. The Parks & Recreation Commission and the Senior Commission have therefore carried forward those tasks to the proposed 2025 work plans.

The purpose of these annual work plans is to encourage increased dialogue between boards and commissions and the City Council. They are also intended to ensure that boards and commissions are working in line with the priorities of the City Council.

Explanation & Analysis
Parks & Recreation Commission
The City Council approved the 2024 work plan for the Parks & Recreation Commission on Jan. 9, 2024. The commission’s work plan report of accomplishments outlines the status of the 2024 work plan’s goals and tasks (Exhibit 1, Attachment A).

Staff assisted the commission in drafting a 2025 work plan that is consistent with the duties described in the Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.36.

Staff also included in the work plan selective support references from the Parks & Recreation Department Master Plan Update. The proposed 2025 work plan for the commission includes edits to the 2024 work plan, as shown in Exhibit 4. At the regularly scheduled meeting on Nov. 18, 2024, the commission voted unanimously to accept the 2025 work plan and to recommend that the City Council approve it (Exhibit 1, Attachment B).

Senior Commission
The City Council approved the 2024 work plan for the Senior Commission on Jan. 9, 2024. The commission’s work plan report of accomplishments outlines the status of the 2024 work plan’s goals and tasks (Exhibit 2, Attachment A).

Staff assisted the commission in drafting a 2025 work plan that is consistent with the duties described in the Carlsbad Municipal Code chapter that governs the commission, Chapter 2.38.

Staff also included in the work plan selective support references from the Parks & Recreation Department Master Plan Update and the Age Friendly Carlsbad Action Plan. The proposed 2025 work plan for the commission includes edits to the 2024 work plan, as shown in Exhibit 5. At the regularly scheduled meeting on Nov. 7, 2024, the commission voted unanimously to accept the 2025 work plan and to recommend that the City Council approve it (Exhibit 2, Attachment B).

Beach Preservation Commission
The City Council approved the 2024 work plan for the Beach Preservation Commission on Jan. 9, 2024. The commission’s work plan report of accomplishments outlines the status of the 2024 work plan’s goals and tasks (Exhibit 3, Attachment A).

On Nov. 12, 2024, the City Council directed staff to return at a future date with a recommendation to consolidate the Beach Preservation Commission into an Environmental Sustainability Commission. Staff are currently drafting documents for an agenda item on that subject for a yet-to-be-determined City Council meeting.

In response to the City Council’s direction, staff suspended the development of a 2025 work plan for the Beach Preservation Commission. Staff informed the Beach Preservation Commission of the City Council’s direction at the commission’s regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 5, 2024.

Item #9 Page 2 of 34

Commission, staff would assist that commission in drafting a 2025 work plan, which would be subsequently brought to the City Council for review and approval.

Fiscal An alysis
Sufficient funds are available to address the activities listed in the 2025 work plan for the Parks & Recreation Commission, the 2025 work plan for the Senior Commission, and the 2024 work plan for the Beach Preservation Commission. No new appropriations are needed.

Next Steps
The Parks & Recreation Commission, Senior Commission and corresponding staff will focus efforts on the activities listed in the approved 2025 work plans. The Beach Preservation Commission and corresponding staff will continue to focus efforts on the activities listed in the approved 2024 work plan until such time that an Environmental Sustainability Commission may be formed.

Environmental E
valuation
The recommended action does not require environmental review because it 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.

Where is public oversight of the Crossings Golf Course? All Receive • Agenda Item # _9_
For the Information of the:

CITY COUNCIL
Date;J.Jtids_ CA ✓ CC~
CM _tC_ACM ~ DCM (3) L
It would seem that is part of the scope of the Park & Rec Commission, but there is not one word about that in their workplan.

If not this commission- then where does that oversight occur? This is of concern because the CA Coastal Commission included some specific conditions in their approval of the permit for the golf course. Among them was a requirement for operations that minimized pesticide use and incorporates Integrated Pest Management(IPM) principles .

To our knowledge it has been several years since anyone verified compliance with those conditions ( and the City was not in compliance at that time).

We ask you to make sure that there is a commission charged with this task and that you would like to see a report on compliance with the CA Coastal Commission conditions of approval for the golf course.

Thank you for considering our comments.
