distributed copies of the background on "Oceanside Sand
Bypass" for the perusal of the Committee Members. Mr.
Monroy stated the attitude has changed as far as beach
erosion becoming a problem.
Governments now are aware this is an ongoing problem and
is not merely the problem of the immediate area.
Monroy discussed the problems caused by Oceanside, and
told of the dredging of Batiquitos Lagoon by SDG&E, with
the sand being put to the south of the mouth of the

Mr. Monroy stated the only way the beach cities will have
clout is to join together in a joint powers group.
Without that type of clout, Carlsbad does not have much of
a chance to get funding for beach erosion.

needed is a complicated and expensive matter. The State
Parks and Recreation Department does not have sufficient
funds to do anything about the beaches and looks to the
cities to take care of them. The Federal Government has
accepted the responsibility of beach erosion at Oceanside,
but not anything south of that.

NEW BUSINESS/INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
2. Brown Act
(continued)
Chris Salomone call the Committee Members' attention to
the information contained in the packet regarding the new
Brown Act requirements. He stated meetings such as this,
or any public meeting, cannot discuss items that are not
noticed to the public. It will no longer be possible for
any Member on the Committee to digress from the subjects
as printed on the agenda. Any subject not listed on the
Agenda cannot be discussed.
ahead of time and verified. If the public is not aware
something is going to be discussed at a meeting, it cannot
be discussed. Mr. Salomone stated this was creating an
adjustment period for all of the committees and
commissions.
The agenda must be published
Member Hayes stated this is one reason there should be a
heading of "Unfinished Business" on the agenda to give the
Committee some leeway.
Member Rombotis suggested there should be an item at the
end of the agenda for items on the next agenda. At that
time, any Member could bring up a subject to place on the
next agenda.
3. Reappointments of Committee Members
Chairman McCoy congratulated Members Guilford and Moralez
on being reappointed to the Committee.
4. Revised Budget/C.I.P.
Chris Salomone called attention to the revised Budget and
C.I.P. as approved by City Council and attached to the
agenda. Mr. Salomone explained that the five-year Capital
Improvement Program contains items that over a number of
years can be dropped from the program and other items
added in their place. However, that is done in public
hearings by the City Council. There have been two
hearings so far this year on the C.I.P.
Member Sanchez commented some projects previously listed
on the C.I.P. are no longer listed in the C.I.P.
Member Hayes asked if it were possible when there is
Redevelopment Funding that the redevelopment part is just
a share of the cost, particularly when a project benefits
the entire community. She cited as an example, the Senior
Center. She did not feel Redevelopment should carry the
entire load of funding. Chris Salomone stated this
Committee would have to recommend the amount of money to
be spent on the Senior Citizen Center. That will probably
be on the agenda at the next meeting.

In answer to a question regarding the streetscape, Chris
Salomone stated there is an ad hoc committee that will be

On March 31, 1987, there will be a public meeting and the

Public Information Brochures
Member Hayes asked whether this Committee will see a draft
of the brochures before they are printed, and Chris
Salomone stated the brochures are almost ready to be
brought before the Committee for their approval.
Inspection of Housing Units
Member Sanchez stated he would like the inspection of
housing units to be on the agenda. The absentee owners
are the ones responsible for the problems in the
Redevelopment Area.
Body Shop
Member Nielson asked about this project, stating they were
putting walls up. Chris Salomone stated there has been no
waivers issued and they are not complying with the
requirements of the Building Department.
7. Discussion Items
Chris Salomone stated there is a lot of controversy as far
as the Hosp Grove purchase, and this will be on the City
Council Agenda for discussion tomorrow evening. The tax
increment money Redevelopment has seems to be another
source of controversy. Redevelopment is in debt to the
City and must pay back their loan as agreed. The feeling
of the Committee was they did not wish to have the Senior
Citizen Center and Hosp Grove purchase be available out of
Redevelopment Funds.
purchase of Hosp Grove is not a realistic option, unless
the City called in the Redevelopment loans that are in
existence. The Senior Center project is moving along.
The project has been transferred from the Harding Street
Center to the Pine Street site. Any Redevelopment money
that would be spent on this project would have to come
through this Committee. A recommendation would be made,
and the item would go to public hearing.
Using Redevelopment Funds for the
Chairman McCoy asked that the Senior Center be kept on the
agenda to keep this Committee apprised of the status. He
felt the item should be discussed at the next meeting and
this Committee should put on record the feeling about
Redevelopment funds being pledged for this project.
Chris Salomone stated staff is putting together a C.I.P.
program for the Redevelopment Area.
Chairman McCoy stated many items are taken off of the
C.I.P. list and others are substituted, and he objects to
that. Chris Salomone stated the Redevelopment should have
its own C.I.P.
Chairman McCoy requested the Bond issue and Senior Citizen
Center be placed on the next agenda.
