1. SANDAG REGIONAL BEACH SAND PROJECT II: Staff member Jantz provided a status update on
the Sandag Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSPII). Mr. Jantz indicated the EIR/EIS for the project is
currently released for public review and comments from interested parties are to be submitted to
Sandag by March 14, 2011. City staff from various departments are currently reviewing the docment
and will be compiling comments to submit as necessary. Also, the project includes an alternative for
additional sand at three regional beach segments with one in south Carlsbad. However, the cost for
the additional sand as well as the cost for potential mitigation requirements has an estimated cost of
approximately $3.05M. For this reason, staff is not recommending the city purchase the additional
quantity of sand. Committee members Timberlake and Hatheway, at the February meeting,
volunteered to review and discuss the EIR/EIS for the Sandag Regional Beach Sand Project II,
