APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Approval of the minutes for the Meeting of June 12, 2012 was continued to the
next meeting.
1. SURFRIDER FOUNDATION SURF MONITORING PROGRAM: Julia Chunn-Heer, representing the San
Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, provided a brief status of the installation of six surf
monitoring cameras near the receiver sites of the upcoming Sandag Regional Beach Sand Project II.
Currently, Surfrider has installed four cameras and is finalizing the permits to allow the installation of
the final two cameras. One of the cameras is proposed at the State Parks' Tamarack Avenue restroom
building. The cameras will provide a digital record of the beach and surf characteristics, and also be
able to track differences in wave form and direction. Surfrider Foundation volunteers will also
supplement the digital data with visual observations. The purpose is to determine if any changes to
the surf breaks occur with large scale beach nourishment projects.
2. CLEAN BEACHES INTIATIVE GRANT PROGRAM: Committee member Timberlake discussed the
recently advertised Clean Beaches Initiative Grant Program. Committee member Timberlake
suggested the grant program could be pursued to implement projects which would improve water
quality at the beaches. Staff provided a brief explanation and status of the city's storm water
program, as related to pursuing such grant opportunities. The Committee suggested this grant
program should be considered by the lagoon foundations.
COMMITTEE MEMBER DISCUSSION:
1. STATE PARKS REPORT -Robin Greene, State Parks Superintendent of the San Diego North County
Sector indicated her department is finalizing the permit for the installation of the Surfrider surf
monitoring cameras at both Tamarack and Cardiff State beach. Also, with the current discussions of
the state budget, there is a possibility of the elimination of California State Lifeguards which could go
into effect in November 2012.
