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. With the recent and anticipated changes to the state’s COVID-19 pandemic tiered reopening system, a date for the beach cleanup event may now be considered. Exhibits 1. Feb. 4, 2020 Staff Report 2.
