1. The actual benefits derived from the recommended project.
2. A commitment to deposit the dredged material from the Agua Hedionda
Lagoon as routine beach nourishment.

Staff will be bringing this issue forward to the Council with the Committee's
recommendation in the near future.

Opportunistic Sand program. Mr. Jantz distributed a copy of a "draff RFP to the

opportunities through their agency. Staff will continue to pursue any available funds to
assist in the development of this program.
4. SDG&E DREDGING OPERATION: Staff member Jantz provided a status of last years
dredging operation within the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Staff requested a report from
SDG&E but this report was not available for the BEG meeting. Staff will provide a
summary of the amounts of sand dredged and the areas of deposition.
The Committee raised comments regarding the amount of material that was promised and
the actual-amounts deposited. The Committee requested that a representative from
SDG&E attend the next meeting and discuss their 1994/95 dredging plans. The
Committee was also concerned about the implied promised of more beach quality
material and inexcusable explanations about lack of time to complete the project.
