presentation by the Army Corps of Engineer describing the current efforts the Los Angeles District is
currently working on in the region. Offshore Reconnaissance Reports and Feasibility Studies are underway
for Imperial Beach, Encinitas and Solaria Beach. The studies are evaluating bluff erosion problems and the
enhancement of the San Elijo Lagoon.
The SPC also considered potential public financing methods for the funding of future regional beach
nourishment projects. The Committee considered a wide array of methods such as property taxes, real
estate transfer charges, sales tax programs, TOT increases, and voluntary contributions.
In addition, Committee member Erhardt will be coordinating with Steve Sachs to investigate hosting a
workshop with NOAA regarding Coastal Disaster Preparedness. Staff will assist in the meeting.

planting project along the seawall north of the Tamarack parking lot. Currently, the project is in the
