APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
By proper motion, the minutes of the meeting held on March 14,1994 were approved.
1. OPPORTUNISTIC SAND: Staff member Jantz provided a status and a
recommendation to focus on two main sites: Buena Vista Lagoon and direct disposal
across the street from SDG&E. Steve has met with planning department and is
developing the strategy to process the needed permits from the regulatory agencies. The
permit process is slated to begin in April.
Steve Sachs of SANDAG was scheduled to give a status to the Committee regarding a
Santa Margarita River dredging. He was unable to attend. Staff member Jantz will report
an update at the April meeting.
2. ARMY CORPS RECON STUDY: Staff member Lloyd Hubbs presented to the
Committee a summary of two alternatives for discussion for the Beach Erosion
Committee's final recommendation to Council. The first option is to combine our Reaches
1 -3 with the City of Oceanside's Recon Study. The second option would deal with just
Reach 3, the only one that qualified by the Army Corps criteria. Reach 3 alternatives
include T-Groins, the regular groins and just straight beach fill. After discussion, the
Committee approved a motion by Chair Copley to table the Beach Erosion final
recommendation to Council until staff is able to get more information regarding combining
our Reaches 1 -3 with the City of Oceanside's Recon Study.
The Sea Wall Project did not qualify, which is already designed. The Committee
approved a second motion made by member Williams to verify that the Sea Wall has
been designed to Federal Standards in order to be in a position to receive Federal
funding credit.
3. SDG&E BUDGET: Paul O'Neal of SDG&E presented to the Committee the procedures
and steps involved in processing their budget through the Public Utilities Commission.
He was not optimistic that he could request additional funding for Carlsbad's annual
dredging operations.
The Committee approved a motion made by member Hall requesting that City staff and
SDG&E work together and obtain the necessary permits to deposit the dredged material
and opportunistic sand along the northern portions of Carlsbad's beaches.
The Committee made a request of Paul O'Neal to provide a copy of the schedule of the
Public Utilities Commission Hearings relative to SDG&E budget.
