The Oceanside City Manager affirmed the focus on achieving Oceanside’s goals, while also being
respectful to the regional needs for beach sand replenishment and any potential impacts on
southerly coastal cities. Staff appreciated the proactive efforts to provide these updates but
recommended the scheduling of like presentations to the Carlsbad Beach Preservation
Commission, the Carlsbad City Council, and the City Councils of other southerly coastal cities,
prior to seeking the Oceanside City Council’s approval to initiate Phase II – Exploring Design
Alternatives - of the Planned Beach Sand Replenishment and Retention Device Project.
In the Next Steps section of the memorandum, following the Discussion section, staff indicates:
Staff will take responsive action to any request from the City of Oceanside for the item to be
presented to the Carlsbad Beach Preservation Commission and the Carlsbad City Council. Staff
will also stay in communication with the Coastal Administrator for any significant developments
on this project going forward.
