Subject: Ad-Hoc Committee’s planning and coordinating of a northern beach clean-
up
Recommended Action
Receive the report on the planning and coordinating of a beach clean-up on the city controlled
northern beach and determine whether to proceed.
Executive Summary
On Dec. 3, 2019, the Commission received a staff report on Beach Grooming Analysis (specific
to the northern beach in Carlsbad). Volunteer beach clean-ups are one of the grooming
opportunities described in that staff report. At the conclusion of that Beach Preservation
Commission meeting, the Commissioners requested a future meeting agenda item to consider
the formation of an ad-hoc committee to plan and coordinate a northern beach clean-up.
On Feb. 4, 2020, the Commission nominated and appointed Commissioners Prietto, Briggs and
Steindlberger as the ad-hoc committee for this purpose. Since the appointment, the ad-hoc
committee has been meeting regularly with Parks & Recreation Department staff to plan and
coordinate a beach clean-up. The ad-hoc committee’s primary focus was on a clean-up
schedule, public safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, and public outreach. Findings
will be presented by ad-hoc committee representative Briggs. Upon receiving the report, the
Beach Preservation Commission will determine whether to proceed with the northern beach
clean-up.
