The main purpose of the Beach Erosion Committee is to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council and to provide information, research and support to the City on beach erosion and general coastal topics. Over the past two decades, the nature of coastal awareness is shifting from strictly evaluating the affects of coastal erosion to a more encompassing view of shoreline preservation. With the completion of the SANDAG Regional Beach Sand Project, the region is now focusing on shoreline protection and sand retention strategies. The local policy makers are keenly aware of both the financial and ecological benefits of a healthy coastline. The Beach Erosion Committee has been an active participant with SANDAG on regional issues, and is now focusing their efforts on local programs to enhance and preserve the Carlsbad coastline. After consideration of various alternatives, the Committee voted 5-2 supporting a recommendation to change its name to the Carlsbad Beach Preservation Committee. This item before the City Council is to change the name of the Committee only. The authority of the Committee and its relationship to the City Council will remain unchanged. FISCAL IMPACT: None.
