Executive Summary The City Council is being asked to appoint one member to the Beach Preservation Commission. The Beach Preservation Commission shall investigate, research and make recommendation to the City Council and the City Manager on general coastal topics, studies, and programs, including, but not limited to the following: •Protecting and enhancing the shoreline (e.g., littoral cells and sea level rise) •Preventing beach erosion The Beach Preservation Commission consists of seven members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. Members must be residents of Carlsbad and normally serve four- year terms, unless appointed to fill an unexpired term. Explanation & Analysis Commissioner Brian Colby was appointed to the Beach Preservation Commission in July 2018 to fill the unexpired term of Commissioner Norelynn Pion-Goreau for a term ending in June 2020. Commissioner Colby was reappointed in September 2020 with a term ending in June 2024, and again in July 2024 for a term ending in 2028. Commissioner Colby resigned on Sept. 10, 2024. Therefore, an unscheduled vacancy exists on the Beach Preservation Commission with a term ending in June 2028. The City Clerk’s Office received eight applications from residents wishing to serve on the Beach Preservation Commission. In keeping with City Council Policy No. 88, the Mayor has chosen the following two applicants to advance in the process and interview with the full City Council: •Shana Hoernke – District 1 •Lawrence Rothman – District 3 Dec. 3, 2024 Item #10 Page 1 of 12 Exhibit 2 contains the applications of the applicants moving forward in the interview process. The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires that on or before December 31 of each year the legislative body must prepare a Local Appointments List, which contains the appointive terms of Board and Commission members that will expire in the next calendar year. The name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk’s Office accepts applications (available on the city’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office) for any upcoming vacancies. The current members of the Beach Preservation Commission are: Commissioner District Spencer Burrows 1 Michael Corrigan 1 Liam Ferguson 4 Cynthia Norall 1 Lisa Stark 3 Chris Woolsey 2 Members of the Beach Preservation Commission are subject to the provisions of California’s Political Reform Act of 1974 and must file statements of economic interest each year and complete ethics training and workplace harassment prevention training every two years. Fiscal Analysis This action has no financial impact. Next Steps Following the appointment of one member to the Beach Preservation Commission, the City Clerk’s Office will update the commission’s roster and coordinate the oath of office and the filing of the appointee’s statements of economic interest, ethics training certificate and workplace harassment prevention training. Environmental Evaluation This 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.
