protection of Carlsbad’s beaches, bluffs and lagoons.
The commission consists of seven members. All members are appointed by the mayor and

Members of the Beach Preservation Commission are subject to the provisions of the California
Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interest each year and complete two
hours of ethics training every two years.
The Maddy Act (California Government Code Sections 54970-54974) requires that on or before
Dec. 31 of each year the legislative body must prepare a local appointments list that contains
the appointive terms of board and commission members that will expire in the next calendar
year, the name of the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment and the term expiration
date. Based on the list, the City Clerk’s Office accepts applications (available on the city’s
website and in the City Clerk’s Office) for any upcoming vacancies.
Fiscal Analysis
This action has no financial impact.
Next Steps
Following the appointment of one member to the Beach Preservation Commission, the City
Clerk’s Office will update the commission roster and coordinate the oath of office and the filing
of the appointees’ statements of economic interest and ethics training certificates.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project
within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public
Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment.
