ch Preservation Commission
FY 2022-23 Work Plan Accomplishments
I. Mission Statement
The
Mission of the City of Carlsbad Beach Preservation Commission is to advise the City Council and the City Manager on matters related to erosion prevention and protection/enhancement of the Carlsbad shoreline (e.g., littoral cells, sea level rise et.al.), and to study the best means to maintain beaches for the safety and optimum enjoyment of the public.

II. Composition
Consistent with City Council Resolution Nos. 93-178 and 2003-120, the Beach Preservation Commission shall be an advisory commission to the City Council and the City Manager, and its seven members shall be appointed Carlsbad residents. The Commission shall investigate and report on topics or studies related to beach erosion as directed by the City Council and City Manager. Commission Members shall serve on a volunteer basis, on staggered terms. Commission Members are expected to attend all meetings, held at dates/times set by the Commission or requested by the City Council or City Manager. The Commission shall be standing, but subject to termination by the City Council if it deems the existence of the Commission is no longer necessary to the City. The Commission name was changed from its original ‘Beach Erosion’ to ‘Beach Preservation’, based on the nature of coastal awareness shifting from strictly evaluating the effects of coastal erosion to a more encompassing view of shoreline preservation.

Comments on # 13- Parks and Recreation Commission Workplan We appreciate all of the work that will be taken on by the Parks and Recreation Commission. But we note there are two key items that are missing from the Workplan, and that in fact do not seem to be under the review of any citizen's committee- trails and open space.

Trails are a high priority community value and the city has a long term commitment to maintain and expand the trails system as documented in the Trails Master Plan. Yet there is no mention of trails in the workplan and it appears that this commission has no role in providing input on them.

Since 1986 the city has had a goal to maintain 40% open space at buildout- and is getting close to achieving that. Yet this al.so is not mentioned in the Workplan .
• • • ¥. • •
If not this Commission- then which one would provide input on these two high priority community resources? ..

Sincerely
Diane Nygaard
