MTG. 8/15/00 FUNDING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
SAND RETENTION STRATEGIES
DEPT. H
I RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. c;1006-36g authorizing the appropriation of $8,192 from the General
Fund Contingency Account for Carlsbad’s proportional share of SANDAG’s Regional Sand
Retention Strategies.
I
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The San Diego Association of Governments adopted the Regional Shoreline Preservation Strategy
in 1993. The objective of the Shoreline Preservation Strategy was to identify various regional and
local coastal programs that could restore the region’s 60 miles of shoreline. The purpose of
restoring San Diego County’s sandy coastline is to preserve and enhance this important resource
that provides environmental quality, recreational opportunity and economic prosperity to the region’s
residents and visitors.
Sand retention strategies are recognized in the Shoreline Preservation Strategy as one of a number
of tactics that can be used to complement the placement of sand on the beaches (the primary action
necessary to restore the coastline). Sand retention has the potential to increase the
cost-effectiveness of beach replenishment activities, and may even help to reduce potential
environmental effects of beach filling by protecting sensitive resources such as reefs and lagoons
from sedimentation.
The SANDAG Shoreline Erosion Committee requests that coastal cities in the San Diego Region contribute funds for the development of a Regional Sand Retention Strategy. The estimated
$64,000 cost of the program would be allocated proportionally among each jurisdiction based on its share of the region’s shoreline. The Carlsbad Beach Erosion Committee considered this request
and recommended that the City appropriate $8,192 to accommodate our proportional share.
I FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost for the development of the Regional Sand Retention Strategy is estimated
at $64,000. The adopted Shoreline Preservation Strategy established a cost-sharing arrangement
based on miles of shoreline per coastal jurisdiction. Carlsbad is identified as having 6.5 mile of
shoreline, which equates to 12.8% of various regional programs. Therefore, Carlsbad’s pro-rata
share of the development of the Regional Sand Retention Strategies is $8,192. Staff is
recommending that this program be funded through the General Fund Contingency Account.
