CALL TO ORDER Chair Vigil called the meeting to order at 9:00 A.M. ROLL CALL Present: Members Vigil, Copley, Hall, Jackson, Reasons, Meyer, Williams Absent: None APPROVAL OF MINUTES Committee agreed to delay approval of minutes in order to proceed with the speakers who were attending the meeting to present items. 1. SAN DIEGO GAS 6 ELECTRIC DREDGING; Paul O'Neal from San Diego Gas & Electric Company reported that the dredging operation was complete. They were not able to transport the sand as far north as they had hoped but the beaches where sand had been deposited did look good. They fell about 30,000 cubic yards short of the 150,000 cu.yd dredging estimate. Mr. O'Neal stated that on Wednesday night, May 12, Encinitas will be holding a meeting to discuss use of ground glass on the beach and recommended that Carlsbad obtain a copy of the report. SDG&E will return to the Committee next spring to discuss placement of sand during their annual dredging operation. 2. BEACH MONITORING PROGRAM; Dr. Choule Sonu of Tekmarine used overheads to explain the Beach Monitoring Program and to discuss the use of kelp and artificial reefs. Dr. Sonu suggested that Carlsbad contact Southern California Edison and request that they include Carlsbad in their San Onofre Mitigation Program dealing with the use of kelp beds. The Committee discussed the ramifications if Carlsbad is included and expressed a need to have more information before making a recommendation. Motion made by Member Hall and duly seconded to pursue inclusion under Southern California Edison's study. Motion carried 7-0. The Committee requested that staff obtain more information and present it at a Committee workshop. Dr. Sonu stated that the City should get word to the Corps that the City wants the results of the Study to provide some relief to Carlsbad for the beaches. At a minimum the Oceanside discharge pipeline should be extended to the edge of Carlsbad then the kelp bed will come down. 3. OPPORTUNISTIC SAMP: Steve Sachs from the SANDAG Shoreline Erosion Committee stated that Carlsbad's Opportunistic Sand Policy is consistent with what the rest of the region is doing. SANDAG would like to do and Environmental Impact Report or another document that covers issues so that agencies would be prepared to take advantage of opportunistic beach fill when it becomes available. After continued discussion, Mr. Sachs stated that he would like to place Carlsbad's Opportunistic Sand Policy on the Shoreline Erosion Committee agenda for July 3, 1993. 4 . STAGGERED TERMS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION: The Committee discussed current terms and possible recommendation for staggering the terms. Motion made by Member Reasons and duly seconded to recommend to Council that the terms of Members Vigil, Reasons and Williams expire in 1994, Members Copley and Hall in 1996 and Members Jackson and Meyer in 1998. The Committee discussed changes to the draft Resolution reestablishing the Committee. Motion made by Member Hall to add the word "consecutive" to item 7. Motion seconded, discussed and passed. Member Copley recommended wording changes to items 4, 7, 8 and 13 and noted that these recommended changes had been discussed with staff for presentation to the City Attorney. Staff noted the modifications subsequently made by the Deputy City Attorney. Motion seconded, and adopted.

Respectfully submitted PATRICIA CHATTY City of Carlsbad Engineering Department April 20, 1993 Dr. Choule J. Sonu Tekmarine Inc. 41 E. Foothill Blvd. Suite 200 Arcadia, CA 91006 BEACH MONITORING PROGRAM Dear Dr. Sonu, Due to the current State and City budget constraints we are evaluating all City programs and contracts. A significant program in the Engineering Department Budget is the Beach Monitoring program which is budgeted at $30,000 per year. In order to fully evaluate this program it would be helpful if you could prepare a letter report that addresses the following questions. 1. What are the major conclusions that can be drawn from the past monitoring surveys? 2. What does the current data tell us about how sand should be placed on the beach? 3. How do you feel that additional data will improve our knowledge of how or where to put sand on Carlsbad beaches? 4. How is the beach monitoring correlated with wave action, weather or storm events? 5. Given the high degree of beach variability related to storm events how comparable do you feel the data is from year to year? 6. Would collection of dynamic information related to tides, wave action, and weather make the data more useful? 7. What is the degree of accuracy of data collected from offshore readings related to sample frequency. 8. Do you see any ways that the cost of surveys could be reduced or made more effective for the same cost? 2075 Las Palmas Dr. • Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 • (619) 438-1161 • FAX (619) 438-0894 April 20, 1993 Beach Monitoring Program Page 2 Thank you for your cooperation. I would appreciate it if you could provide a response before April 30, 1993 to allow inclusion in the Beach Erosion Committee packet for the May 10, 1993 meeting. In addition, it would be extremely helpful if you could attend the May 10, meeting at 9:00 a.m. in the Housing and Redevelopment Conference Room.
