APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The minutes of the meeting held on May 14, 1996 were approved.
1. NAVY HOMEPORTING PROJECT: Staff member Jantz briefed the Committee on the
two latest issues with the Navy Homeporting project. Number one was that the
schedule has been amended due to the Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) filing a
lawsuit against the Navy to be heard by the courts on June 10, 1996. The EHC is
concerned about possible contaminants in the deposition material. Secondly due to this
delay, the timing of the deposition of material on Carlsbad beaches is delayed to May,
1997.
2. COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Shoreline Erosion Committee Meeting - Member Jackson briefed the Committee on
the Shoreline Erosion Committee meetings of May 30, and June 6, 1996. Key
highlights were:
• The Navy Homeporting deposition quantities decreased in quantities for
Carlsbad and Oceanside with the final approved allocation.
• City of Oceanside will be a test pilot for the Trash for Sand Project with the
County of La Paz, Arizona. This project would place 20-30,000 cubic yards
of sand at Bucanneer Beach in Oceanside (approximately 2000 truckloads).
• The State Boating and Waterways Department may merge with State Parks
and Recreation Department.
3. NOMINATIONS FOR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR 1996-97: Two motions were
approved electing Mike Howes to the position of Chair and LuAnn Hall to position of
Vice Chair for the 1996-97 term.
4. OLD BUSINESS: Staff member Jantz updated the Committee on the progress of
Seawall project. City staff and City Council members have met with the Army Corps in
an effort to expedite receiving the Federal construction money and to streamline the
plans and specifications in order to meet two deadlines: August 1 to Advertise for Bids
and September 15, 1996 to award the construction contract. Staff is writing letters
requesting support of the Seawall project to the Army Corps, Congressman Ron
Packard and Major General Stanley Genega.
5. NEW BUSINESS: Councilperson Kulchin had received a citizen's request to investigate
the loss of the fire rings on the State beach in front of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Staff
member Jantz informed the Committee that the State doesn't have funds to support
maintaining the fire rings or enforcing illegal fires. Council may have staff investigate the
possibility of the City installing and maintaining fire rings.
6. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS: Chair Williams informed the Committee that FEMA
will no longer fund Beach Replenishment as mitigation.
7. PUBLIC COMMENT: NONE
