The BEC shall evaluate the request and provide a recommendation on the appropriate location(s) for the deposition of dredged sand. The determination of sand deposition areas shall be analyzed with regard to the state of the beach and the need for sand nourishment in certain areas. Priority shall be given to the area just southerly of the weir at the Buena Vista Lagoon. However, the BEC may recommend an alternative location which would alleviate or repair storm damage due to a lack of sand material or to nourish selected sites to maintain recreational amenities.

Staff would offer the following comments and suggestions: 1. That the Statement of Council Policy be incorporated in the adopted goals and presented to Council as a comprehensive package in March. 2. That a subcommittee be assigned to work with staff to guide implementation of the action plan. 3. Prior to Item B, the Committee establish a set of performance criteria to guide site selection. Factors to consider would be similar to those discussed in Item C, proximity to the beach, haul requirements, land use compatibility, placement opportunities, access, etc. 4. Once sites have been developed and screened, the detailed permitting and licensing of activities will require significant commitment of resources that will require a detailed budget and Council approval prior to initiation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the proposed plan with the noted clarifications and the appointment of a subcommittee for implementation. LLOYD B.

Coordinate procedures with SANDAG, Corps of Engineers and others. 3.

MEMO December 30, 1992 TO: BEACH EROSION COMMITTEE FROM: City Engineer 1993 GOAL AND WORK PROGRAM At your November meeting, staff distributed a draft set of goals for your consideration. It is usual for all Departments, Committees and Commissions to review and establish yearly goals. The goals are designed to guide the development of detailed objectives for staff pursuit and to communicate to the City Council major activities for the current year. The draft goals were developed through review of current and past activities of the Committee. It is suggested that the Committee proceed under the following process for review: 1. Review goals for deletions or additions. 2. Prioritize goals. 3. Discuss objectives to be pursued under each goal area. Staff will utilize this information to return with a draft work program for 1993. That program would then be reviewed and approved by the City Council in late February or March. It should be noted that the Beach Nourishment and Financial Programs are fairly comprehensive. The Committee may wish to separate some of these items out for further emphasis. Opportunistic sand is a good example of an area for detailed study. These areas will also have to be coordinated with the soon to be initiated Corps of Engineer's Study. The Committee may also wish to explore the establishment of subcommittees to deal with individual topic areas. LLOYDS.
