APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes of the June 14, 2011 were held over to the next scheduled BPC

1. SHORELINE PRESERVATION WORKING GROUP: Staff member Jantz provided a summary of the
Sandag Shoreline Preservation Working Group meeting of October 6, 2011. Mr. Jantz mentioned that
Greg Hearon from Coastal Frontiers provided a presentation summarizing the results of their ongoing
regional Offshore Monitoring Program. Coastal Frontiers monitors coastal profiles twice annually at
61 transects throughout the San Diego coastal region. For the Carlsbad beaches, Mr. Hearon
indicated the northern beaches seem to hold sand longer that the southern Carlsbad beaches. This
information could be used to determined appropriate locations for future beach nourishment
projects.
Mr. Jantz also updated the Committee on the status of the 2012 Sandag Regional Beach Sand Project
II (RBSP II). Sandag indicated RBSP II is projected to be advertised for bidding later in October with bid
submittals due towards the first part of December. Also, due to the increase in projected project
costs, the coastal city representatives considered reducing the sand quantities at each beach location
by 11% or commit to funding the increased costs in order to receive the maximum permitted sand
quantities at the adjacent beaches. The City of Encinitas indicated they are willing to eliminate the
Leucadia beach site and will contribute additional funds in order to receive the maximum sand
quantities at the remaining three beach sites in Encinitas. Carlsbad indicated they are not interested
in funding the increased sand quantities due to the estimated cost of $844,000. The Committee
discussed the option of requesting additional funds from the Council for the maximum sand
quantities. Staff member Jantz indicated the cost of the additional sand quantity may not be the best
use of public funds since public perception with the loss of sand over a winter period can be perceived
as a waste of taxpayer funds.
