APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
By proper motion, the minutes of the meeting held on September 19, 1995 were
approved as amended.
1. SDG&E: Staff member Jantz provided a status of SDG&E's proposed 1994/95
Dredging Program and events that took place since the September BEC
meeting. SDG&E has retained Don Worley as legal counsel in the matter of the
City's authority of the Special Use Permit versus the Public Utilities Commission
authority over the permit. SDG&E sent a letter dated October 6, 1995 to the
City Council appealing the City Engineers decision dated September 6, 1995.
An agenda bill for this appeal has been prepared for a tentative Council date of
Tuesday, October 17, 1995. Dr. Sonu has been contacted to provide a brief
technical presentation. Staff recommendation on this Agenda Bill is to deny
the Appeal and to uphold the City Engineers Decision.
SDG&E has stopped their dredging since September 28, 1995. No new
dredging will occur until this matter is resolved whether it is by Council or the
court system. The five year SDG&E Dredging proposal has been pulled off the
table and we are now back to the one year proposal based on the City
Engineer's letter of 150,000 cubic yards to the north, 200,000 cubic yards
- between the jetties and the remainder to the south.
Chair Williams encouraged SDG&E to try to meet with Staff, the City Engineer,
City Attorney and himself to try to resolve this issue prior to the Council hearing
on 10-17-95.
2. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
• Offshore Monitoring Scope of Work - The final Request for Proposal
(RFP) for the Offshore Monitoring Program was approved by the City
Engineer with a budget of $18,000. Staff member Jantz will be mailing
the RFP's on October 12, 1995. When the proposals come submitted,
the subcommittee will reconvene for ranking and recommend the
consulting firm for beach profile and consulting services.
• Opportunistic Sand Program - Staff member Jantz provided the
subcommittee copies of the Moffatt and Nichol Engineers technical
notes and Bio Report for their review. The next step is to prepare and
send the application for permits to the appropriate regulatory agencies.
