1. SHORELINE PRESERVATION COMMITTEE: Staff Member Jantz provided a brief
summary of the May 3, 2001 SANDAG Shoreline Preservation Committee meeting. During
the first week of April, the Regional Beach Sand Project started depositing sand at Torrey
Pines State Beach, thus creating a 175-ft. wide beach. Public information brochures, such
as door hangers and/or project fact sheets, were discussed to inform Carlsbad residents of
the upcoming sand due early June. The Regional Sand Retention Strategy Report
discussed 3 main sand retention options; groins, breakwater (both emergent and
submergent - above water and below water) and the construction of an artificial reef. The
advantage of the reef is that it has the ability to enhance the surf and to become a growing
ground for marine habitat. The final report will be complete in July. On May 24, 2001 a
hearing is scheduled on the draft State of California Policy on Coastal Erosion located at the
City of Encinitas City Hall at 6:00 p.m. Beach Erosion Committee members are encouraged
to attend this meeting and offer comments. The next Shoreline Preservation Committee
meeting is scheduled for Friday, July 13, 2001.
2. CONSULTANT SERVICES: The Committee reviewed Member Andrews' draft Request for
Proposal for consultant services. The Committee recommended adding a line item to
provided as-needed consulting services to the Beach Erosion Committee. The Committee
further recommended to add more funds for the development of a report evaluating the
existing offshore profile data such that the final document could be used as a decision
making tool. Member Andrews will work with Steve Jantz and Member Howes on the scope
of services for the draft Request for Proposal.
3. COMMITTEE NAME CHANGE: Item continued until a future meeting when a full Committee
can be present.
4. OLD BUSINESS:
