Meeting Date:
Aug. 3, 2021
To:
Beach Preservation Commission
From: Kyle Lancaster, Parks & Recreation Director
Staff Contact: Michael Tully, Parks Planner
Subject: North Beach Clean-Up Event
Recommended Action
The Commission will discuss with city staff the planning of a beach cleanup event on the city
controlled north beach and determine when to proceed with the event.
Discussion
At the Feb. 4, 2020, Beach Preservation Commission meeting, the Commission received a staff
report (Exhibit 1), then nominated and appointed Commissioners Briggs, Prietto, and
Steindlberger as an ad-hoc committee to work with Parks & Recreation staff to plan and
coordinate a beach clean-up event on the city-controlled northern beach. At the Oct. 6, 2020
Beach Preservation Commission meeting, the Commission received a staff report (Exhibit 2) and
comments from the ad hoc committee on the plans and potential schedule for the beach clean-
up event. The Commission decided that, due to the State of California’s COVID-19 pandemic red
tier reopening status, the beach cleanup would be postponed until the County of San Diego was
moved to a lesser tier. At the June 1, 2021 meeting this agenda item was due for consideration
but since there was some uncertainty regarding the State of California’s COVID-19 reopening
process, the Commission decided to postpone the item until the Aug. 3, 2021 meeting. With
clearer guidelines to the state’s COVID-19 reopening system, a date for the beach cleanup
event may now be considered.

Discussion
On Dec. 3, 2019, the Commission received a staff report on Beach Grooming Analysis (specific
to the northern beach in Carlsbad) [Exhibit 1]. Volunteer beach clean-up events are one of the
grooming opportunities described in that staff report. At the conclusion of that Beach
Preservation Commission meeting, the Commissioners requested a future meeting agenda item
to consider the formation of an ad-hoc committee to plan and coordinate a northern beach
clean-up event.
Elections will be conducted for an ad-hoc committee for a northern beach cleanup event. After
nominations have been received and accepted, the Commissioners will vote to elect the ad-hoc
committee for a northern beach cleanup event.

Executive Summary
On Dec. 3, 2019, the Commission received a staff report on Beach Grooming Analysis (specific
to the northern beach in Carlsbad). Volunteer beach clean-ups are one of the grooming
opportunities described in that staff report. At the conclusion of that Beach Preservation
Commission meeting, the Commissioners requested a future meeting agenda item to consider
the formation of an ad-hoc committee to plan and coordinate a northern beach clean-up.
On Feb. 4, 2020, the Commission nominated and appointed Commissioners Prietto, Briggs and
Steindlberger as the ad-hoc committee for this purpose. Since the appointment, the ad-hoc
committee has been meeting regularly with Parks & Recreation Department staff to plan and
coordinate a beach clean-up. The ad-hoc committee’s primary focus was on a clean-up
schedule, public safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, and public outreach. Findings
will be presented by ad-hoc committee representative Briggs. Upon receiving the report, the
Beach Preservation Commission will determine whether to proceed with the northern beach
clean-up.
