Mr. Jantz summarized the City Council's action and reasoning to add SANDAG to the application for the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Grant, as well as the intent to make the City of Carlsbad a partner in a region-wide beach sand replenishment project. Although the Committee recommended award of an Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Grant to fund a Carlsbad-beach-only sand replenishment project, it was determined by the City Council that the same local/coastal benefits in Carlsbad could be achieved (with the potential for reduced expense to the City) through partnering with SANDAG on a region-wide beach sand replenishment project. As a result of recent development pertaining to the ongoing pursuit to implement SANDAG's region-wide beach sand replenishment project, Mr. Jantz will be returning at the January 12, 2009 meeting to brief the Committee on updated information pertaining to this grant award. Respectfully Submitted, PLANNING DEPARTMENT
