G1. Gain a better understanding of local shoreline preservation and beach nourishment projects.
Chairperson Briggs commented on the changes of the shoreline he observed in relationship to periodic sand replenishment cycles and asked the Commissioners about their feedback on the matter. The Commissioners have noticed fluctuations of the sand volume on the beach and, most agreed there had been improvements in many areas. However, some other areas, such as Ponto State Beach seemed to lose sand and become rockier each year. Vice Chair Steindlberger asked if the City of Carlsbad is looking into long term solutions to retain sand in the beaches. Mr. Tully explained the Local Coastal Plan may include various beach retention strategies.
G2. Encourage private and public representatives to be engaged and work together on protection and enhancement of local beaches.
Chairperson Briggs recommended that the Beach Preservation Commission further postpone the beach clean-up event until COVID-19 guidelines allow for such events. Parks & Recreation Director Kyle Lancaster suggested that the Commission discuss potential beach cleanup event dates at the next meeting, once county COVID-19 restrictions are likely reduced. Next, the commission requested updates from each of the three lagoon foundations and California State Parks on their activities as they relate to shoreline preservation. City staff was tasked to reach out to the lagoon foundations and California State Parks to schedule their presentations at future BPC meetings.
G3. Participate in outreach opportunities to related protection and enhancement of local beaches.
Chairperson Briggs commented on the need for increased trash management along the Carlsbad Boulevard across from Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant. Mr. Lancaster stated that the responsibility lies within the Parks & Recreation Department and assured that staff will look into the matter.
Next, Chairperson Briggs recommended that California State Parks provide an overview of their education program, particularly as it relates to the eroding tidepools and animals on the beach. Vice Chair Steindlberger mentioned Carlsbad High School’s instructor who educates students on tidepools and marine life and recommended reaching out to Carlsbad High School to gain a better understanding of their educational program and volunteer opportunities.
Additionally, Commissioner Prietto brought up the issue of patrons bringing their dogs to Carlsbad beaches, especially near the mouth of Buena Vista Lagoon. Mr. Lancaster clarified that dogs are not allowed on beaches within Carlsbad, per municipal and state regulations. The need for enforcement of the regulations was discussed amongst commissioners; Mr. Lancaster assured the commissioners that staff will relay the information to the city’s Police Department and California State Parks.

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.

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.
