1. SHORELINE PRESERVATION WORKING GROUP:
Staff member Hatheway provided a brief summary of the Sandag Shoreline Preservation Working
Group meeting of March 1, 2012. The 3 main topics of the meeting were: 1) Sandag indicated they
have issued a Notice of Intent to execute a construction contract with Great Lakes Dredging for the
Regional Beach Sand Project II (RBSP II). The project should begin in early August and most likely will
start pumping sand onto the beaches along Imperial Beach. A schedule for the remaining beach sites
is currently being developed and will be distributed by the end of April; 2) Surfrider Foundation
provided a presentation on their proposed surf monitoring camera program. The Foundation is
proposing to install 6 cameras overlooking the beach receiver sites for the RBSP II. The purpose is to
monitor historic surf breaks and determine if sand nourishment affects the waves at these sites. The
program will include analysis of video footage and will be supplemented by visual monitoring by
volunteers. The proposed site in Carlsbad is overlooking Tamarack Beach; and 3) Sandag staff
provided a presentation on a recent program developing a photographic record of beach sites in San
Diego. The purpose is to take pictures at specific beach site (same angle and direction) so that a
picture history can be created and the archives reviewed to show changes in the shoreline over time.
2. 2012-2013 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES PROGRAM:
This item was a continuation of the discussion regarding the focus of the Committee and which items
from their 2012-2013 Goals and Objectives Program the Committee should pursue. Committee
member Petrucci suggested: the BPC should expand their public outreach efforts; and the Committee
should research the possibility of allowing food trucks along Carlsbad Blvd to provide services to
beach visitors. Committee member Andrews reiterated his suggestion of having the BPC be more
active in the coordination and outreach relative to the Regional Beach Sand Project II. The Committee
discussed her suggestion and agreed to continue the discussion at a future meeting.
