extraordinary wave/weather/review transect points. Member Andrews will take
additional photographs in the spring.

involvement on the proposed outline for the development of a strategic plan.
Creating a Vision" of the Committee's focus, drafting a game plan (strategic

Visioning Workshop

"Visioning" workshop. Staff member Jantz will follow-up with Jim Boylan on the
possible workshop.

Update.

3. OLD BUSINESS:
• Water Quality issues along the beach - Member Carroll urged the
Committee to put water quality as a priority goal. The water quality is
eroded by dog feces on the beach, which goes into the water and storm
water run off carrying contaminants that can cause illnesses. Staff member
Jantz will invite Jayne Strommer, Environmental Programs Manager to the
December 9, 2003 Beach Preservation meeting to discuss related storm
water issues. Enforcement is the issue and the Police are not available.
Police Volunteers are willing to police the beach but not able to write tickets.
4. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS:
• Member Macklin wanted to be on record for noting that it's a tragedy and a
disgrace that another drowning has happened on Carlsbad Beaches, he
believes could have been prevented with lifeguards on duty.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT: None
