AD HOC CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
(ACMF COMMITTEE)
Subject: Awarded Grant Project (AGP) 06-10 - Carlsbad Beach Nourishment
Meeting Date: Nov. 7, 2011
In February 2007, the City Council awarded $1.5 million to AGP 06-10 – Carlsbad Beach
Nourishment. The funds awarded to AGP 06-10 are to be used to re-nourish two beach sites
along the Carlsbad coastline with sand dredged from offshore sources.
Subsequent to the City Council’s action in February 2007, SANDAG began developing a program
titled Regional Beach Sand Project II (regional project), which will re-nourish nine regional
beaches with sand dredged from offshore sources. Two of the nine regional beaches are the
exact same beaches that are part of AGP 06-10. The regional project will accomplish the same
objective as AGP 06-10; therefore, on Nov. 6, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution 2007-
288 (Exhibit 6.1) adding SANDAG as a regional partner to AGP 06-10.
By partnering with SANDAG on the regional project, the cost to implement AGP 06-10 (as part of
the regional project) is now less than estimated in 2007 when the $1.5 million ACMF grant was
awarded. As detailed in the attached memorandum (Exhibit 6.2), the city’s contribution to help
fund the regional project is $730,587, which the City Council has authorized to be paid with the
ACMF funds previously awarded to AGP 06-10. After the completion of the regional project,
with City Council approval, the remaining ACMF grant fund ($769,413) for AGP 06-10 can be
returned to the ACMF account and used for future ACMF projects.
