Thank you for consideration of this item. ANN KULCHIN Council Member AK:b Attachment COUNCIL 12-4-84 The matter was continued to the next meeting. ACTION: APPROVED BEACH PRESERVATION POLICY PURPOSE AND GOAL; The Cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Del Mar; the County of San Diego; and, United States Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton have a strong common interest in the preservation and restora- tion of North San Diego County's beaches. The maintenance of wide, sandy beaches helps to protect against costly property damage, and further benefits the entire North County region economically by promoting recreation and tourism. Furthermore, because sand moves throughout the entire littoral cell which extends between Dana Point and La Jolla, the beach restoration activities underaken in one area may affect the character of the shoreline in adjoining jurisdictions. Therefore, the goal of this policy is to foster greater coopera- tion toward the maintenance and enhancement of North San Diego County area beaches. It is the policy of the above-mentioned agencies to: 1. Communicate regularly with each other on beach protection and restoration matters in order to ensure maximum cooperation; 2. Promote the restoration of North San Diego County area beaches, which are an important economic and recreational resource to the region; 3. Support maximum replenishment of beach sand through projects such as the Oceanside sand bypass and dredging of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. 4. Coordinate all beach restoration and shoreline protection projects to maximize benefits to the region, and avoid detri- mental effects on adjoining beach areas.
