CONSIDERATION OF INITIATING AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER CHANGING OR REVOKING CONDITIONAL PERMIT 1021/ VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT/ AND WIRELESS SCREENING FORM WMS 23-231 RELATED TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 616 DEL DIOS, ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER 690-552-05 ..body Fiscal Impact:

The action to initiate a public hearing to consider changing or revoking permits or other City approvals will not result in substantial costs to the City, except for the staff time necessary to prepare for the hearing. It is not possible to determine these costs at this time, though in staff’s experience, these types of hearings have generally required less than $15,000 of City staff and City Attorney time.

Summary:

Before the City Council now is just the procedural issue of whether and when to schedule a public hearing. The substance of this matter is not yet before the City Council.

City staff received an application for collocation of wireless transmission equipment on an existing tower in Rancho San Clemente near the neighborhood of Harborview Estates. During public comment at the City Council Meeting on October 17, 2023 and at a Joint Study Session of the Planning Commission and City Council on November 8, 2023, the City received public testimony that called into doubt the validity of the Applicant’s assertion that the facility is eligible for streamlining under Section 6409 of the Spectrum Act (47 U.S.C. § 1455(a), 47 C.F.R. § 1.6100), and, if true, could constitute grounds to change or revoke Conditional Permit 1021 (as subsequently approved by the City), the Voluntary Compliance Agreement between American Tower Corporation and the City executed on, or about, July 6, 2023, and approval of Wireless Screening Form WMS 23-231. Among other things, public testimony asserted that:
 The facility was abandoned and non-operational for more than one year, contradicting the information provided within the applicant and property owner’s discussions and applications to the City. San Clemente Municipal Code (SCMC) section 17.12.150 provides regulations related to the expiration of approvals, which indicate that a conditionallypermitted land use is considered lapsed if it is inactive for a period of at least one year;  The facility has not been maintained in accordance with the conditions of approval included within Conditional Permit 1021; and
 The site has been operated in a manner that constitutes a public nuisance. 1 Meeting Date: December 5, 2023 Agenda Item: 10B

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Given the public testimony, staff recommends that the City Council schedule a public hearing to be held on January 16, 2024, pursuant to SCMC section 17.12.175, to consider evidence as well as further public testimony of these matters, provide notice to and an opportunity to be heard to the owner/operator of the tower and the collocation applicant, and determine whether a change to or revocation of Conditional Permit 1021, the Voluntary Compliance Agreement, and/or Wireless Screening Form WMS 23-231 is warranted.

Background:

SCMC section 17.12.175 provides a process for the City to change or revoke approved applications when conditions of approval are violated, it is necessary to resolve a nuisance, and/or when applications contain incorrect, false, or misleading information. Because this matter involves a Conditional Permit issued in 1962, a public hearing with notice to the owner and applicant and an opportunity for them to present evidence is required.

An existing cell facility at the subject site is operated by American Tower Management (Owner).

This facility was approved under a Conditional Permit in 1962 by the County of Orange (Attachment 2) and was later approved by the City. Per the Conditional Permit, the wireless communications facility was approved for an approximate 28-foot by 58-foot building and a 70- foot tall antenna tower. Per Owner representatives, the tower component of the wireless communications facility was built to a height of 137.6 feet, but was then further extended to 156 feet when the height is measured from the highest existing appurtenance affixed to the tower.

In 2020, the City denied a request for a wireless antenna collocation at this site when it was discovered that the height of the tower was not compliant with the terms of the 1962 Conditional Permit issued by the County of Orange prior to the annexation of this property into the City of San Clemente. This denial resulted in discussions between the Owner and the City. The Owner ultimately agreed to voluntarily reduce the height of the existing tower to the 70-foot maximum height allowed by the 1962 permit, which was the only violation of the Conditional Permit that the City was aware of at that time. A Voluntary Compliance Agreement was executed on July 6, 2023 between the Owner and the City of San Clemente to reduce the height of the existing antenna tower to the permitted height of 70 feet (Attachment 3). The City then approved Building permit B23-1495 to de-stack the tower to the reduced height of 70 feet tall.

During the review of records that preceded entry into the Voluntary Compliance Agreement, legal counsel for the Owner represented that the tower is/was still used today for the wireless transmission of telephone services. This representation was maintained and repeated by Dish Wireless (Applicant) within Wireless Screening Form WMS 23-231 No. WMS 23-231 (Attachment 4), which was an Eligible Facilities Request to collocate equipment on the reduced-height tower.

Relying on these representations, staff approved the Voluntary Compliance Agreement and WMS 23-231 (which found the project met criteria for review under Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act, did not require discretionary review, and could proceed to building plan check). The aforementioned public meetings on October 17 and November 8, 2023, which called into question the truth of the Owner and Applicant’s representations and revealed Conditional Permit violations and an attractive nuisance, occurred while the building permit was under review.

With respect to public health and safety considerations, some of the most notable comments from the public made about the nuisance the tower has become indicate that on regular occasions the 2 Meeting Date: December 5, 2023 Agenda Item: 10B

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
tower operates as an attractive nuisance, drawing the attention of neighborhood children who find access to the site through the dilapidated fence, climb the tower, and throw items off the tower.

This is not the case with other telecommunication facilities in the City that have different designs.

Additional comments from the public indicate an existing issue stemming from the Owner’s/Applicant’s access through the Harborview Estates neighborhood to deliver equipment to the site and the neighboring home-owner’s associations contending that the Owner/Applicant do not have the legal right to access the site in that manner and have been violating the conditions of Conditional Permit 1021 by doing so. Issues requiring a response from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputies have arisen from this contention about the Owner’s/Applicant’s access to the site.

Given the public testimony, City staff requested a tolling agreement from the Applicant, which was executed on November 17, 2023 and extended the shot-clock review deadline until November 30, 2023 for the currently under review Building Permit to install new wireless transmission equipment on the existing tower. While the City has not issued this Building Permit, under FCC regulations, the failure to approve a permit for eligible facilities within the specified timeframes makes the permit “deemed approved.” The Applicant is on notice that if it elects to install its equipment on the tower, it would be proceeding at its own risk should the City Council decide to consider changing or revoking Conditional Permit 1021.

The Owner has also reported to the City that trespasses onto the site have been occurring, repairs to the site fence have been damaged and that there have been instances of vandalism and damage to vehicles left on site.

Council Options:
 The City Council can initiate a change or revocation hearing of Conditional Permit 1021, the Voluntary Compliance Agreement and the Wireless Screening Form WMS 23-231 and set the public hearing. This would be a noticed public hearing by the City Council. City staff recommend that this public hearing be set for the January 16, 2024 City Council meeting.  The City Council can decline initiating a change or revocation hearing.  The City Council can continue the item and request additional information.

Environmental Review/Analysis
This item is consideration of setting a public hearing only and is therefore not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act.

23 VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT

PARTIES
This Voluntary Compliance Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between American Tower Management, LLC ("ATC") and the City of San Clemente ("City"), ATC and the City are sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as "Party" and collectively as the "Parties". This Agreement !s entered into as of July~' 2023 t'Effective Date'1).

RECITALS
This Agreement is made with reference to the following:

1. A TC operates a wireless communication facility (Site No. 89366) ("Wireless Communications Facility"), located at Rancho San Clemente Trailf Rancho San Clemente, California 92672 (APN: 690-552-05) C'Property") that was approved under a Conditional Use Permit in 1962 by the Orange County ("County',) Planning Division, which then had jurlsdictio:i. over the Property C' 1962 CUP").

2. The 1962 CUP permits a wireless communications facility, consisting of "an approximate 28 ft. by 58 ft, building and a 70 ft. antenna tower'', in connection with a public telephone service.
3, According to ATC, the tower component of the Wireless Communications Facility is 13 7. 6 ft. in height, which is further extended to 156 ft. when the height is measured from the highest existing appurtenance affixed to the tower.

4. Neither the City, the CountyJ nor ATC have been able to locate any records authorizing the expansion in height of the tower from 70 ft. to the current height. 24 5. Accordingly, because no records of any County or City approvals authorizing the expansion of the tower from 70 ft. to its current height have been located, ATC voluntarily agrees to reduce the height of the existing tower to the 70 ft. maximum identified in the 1962 CLP.

6. To the best of the City's information and knowledge, the only knmvn violation of the 1962 CUP or applicable law with respect to the Wireless Communications Facility is the tower's height.

7. The City and ATC desire to resolve this matter.

AGREEMENT
In consideration of and in return for the promises, covenants, and agreements made herein by the Parties, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. The above recitals are incorporated into the terms of this Agreement.

2. The height of the existing tower component of the Wireless Communications Facility will be reduced to a maximum of 70 ft., when the height is measured from the existing adjacent grade to the highest appurtenance affixed to the tower.

3. All work required to reduce the height of the tower to a maximum of 70 ft. shall be performed and completed by ATC, at its sole cost and expense, within 12 months from the date that a building permit is issued by the City in accordance with Section 5, below. ATC shall submit a complete application for a building permit within two (2) months of the Effective Date.

4. ATC agrees that once the height of the tower is reduced, ATC will comply with the 1962 CUP and maintain the Wireless Communications Facility in compliance \vith all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, the San Clemente Municipal Code and the California Building Code. This includes, but is not limited to, obtaining any necessary permits and other approvals for construction, modifications and/or uses prior to any such changes, to ensure continued compliance -2-
~S33.?i02'00i.3Ull3538.2
25 with the 1962 CUP and applicable law in effect at that time. ATC shall also maintain the Wireless Communications Facility in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations, now existing or hereinafter enacted.

5. ATC agrees, prior to commencing any work to reduce the height of the tower stipulated in this Agreement, to obtain a building permit from the City for alterations to the tower.

The City agrees to process and issue the building permit with reasonable diligence and without delay.

6. The City agrees that, following the reduction in the height of the tower, the Wireless Communications Facility will be in compliance 'i\ith the 1962 CUP, and specifically that (i) the 1962 CUP is vested; (ii) the 1962 CUP does not contain an expiration date; and (iii) the 1962 CVP permits the current use of the Wireless Communications Facility for wireless telecommunication purposes; and (iv) the 1962 CUP permits a 70' tower. As a result, the City shall not require a discretionary approval, including but not limited to a new CUP or renewal of the 1962 CUP, in connection with the reduction in height and ongoing operation of the Wire.less Communications Facility consistent with the 1962 CUP.

7. In contemplation of, and based on ATC's agreement to reduce the tower height in compliance with this Agreement and to maintain the Wireless Communications Facility in compliance with the law as set forth in Section 4 above, the City hereby will forego any enforcement proceedings for non-compliance related to ATC's tower prior to expiration of the deadline established in Section 3 above.

8. ATC hereby releases the City, its agents, employees, attorneys, elected officials, appointed officials and representatives, from any and all actions, causes of action, losses, claims, demands, damages, costs, loss of use, loss of revenue, expenses, compensation and other form of -3-
~S33i!i02'flm4O113538.2
26 damages arising from or relating to any enforcement proceedings for non-compliance as of the expiration of the deadline established in Section 3 above (the "ATC Released Claims"). However, this release provision does not extinguish, release, or discharge any of the obligations and rights set forth and encompassed in this Agreement. ATC shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to City) and hold the City its agents, employees, attorneys, elected officials, appointed officials and representatives from any and all actions, causes of action, losses, claims, demands, damages, costs, loss of use, loss of revenue, expenses, compensation and other form of damages by any third party arising from or relating to the ATC Released Claims or this Agreement, the 1962 CUP or ATC construction, operation or maintenance of the Wireless Communications Facility, including, but not limited to, any environmental review or approval in connection therewith.

9. Effective upon ATC's completion of the work on the tower in compliance with applicable laws and as contemplated by this Agreement, the City releases ATC, its agents, employees, attorneys, elected officials, appointed officials and representatives, from any and all known actions, causes of action, losses, claims, demands, damages, costs, loss of use, loss of revenue, expenses, compensation and other form of damages arising from or relating to any noncompliance of ATC's tower. However, this release provision does not extinguish, release, or discharge any of the obligations and rights set forth and encompassed in this Agreement.

10. ATC also hereby specifically waives the protections of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, -4-
4833.?502900'5.H M13 53 8.2
27 would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

11. As required by law, the City hereby reserves its right to enforce future violations of law relating to the Wireless Communications Facility or those violations currently unknown, as provided by law, and seek any remedies or rights available to the City. This section is merely intended to clarify that the City is not waiving any future rights or obligations it may have under law pertaining to future occurring or currently unknown, and therefore not contemplated, violations of law that may exist.

12. Advice of Counsel. The Parties represent that they have had the opportunity, whether or not they have chosen to do so, to discuss this Agreement with legal counsel.

13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by all Parties, except that a change in contact information may be made simply by sending notice to the other party.

14. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the others. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement shall be enforced to the greatest extent possible.

15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

16. Choice of Venue. The venue for any disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be in the County of Orange. ATC waives any rights that it may have to removal under Code of Civil Procedure section 395.

18. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for its failure or delay to perform under this Agreement (a) caused by reason of acts of God, wars, revolution, terrorism, civil commotion, or similar unlawful acts of third parties, fire, flood or other casualty, embargo, acts of government in its sovereign capacity, labor difficulties, including without limitation, strikes, slowdowns, business shutdowns, government regulations preventing performance, epidemics or pandemics preventing performance, labor or supply shortages preventing performance, picketing or boycotts, or any other similar circumstances beyond the reasonable control and not involving any fault or negligence of such Party, and (b) provided that Party gives prompt notice to the other Party and makes all commercially reasonable efforts to perform.

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Meeting Date: December 5, 2023 Agenda Item: 10C
Department: Community Development
Prepared By: Nick Berkuta, Public Safety Committee Chair Danielle Sorahan, Code Compliance Manager
Subject:

CREATION AND FUNDING OF AN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS COORDINATOR/PUBLIC

INFORMATION OFFICER POSITION
Fiscal Impact:

The estimated annual salary cost to fund the proposed position is between $90,000-$120,000 for a full-time role. This position is not currently funded, and a detailed classification and compensation study would be required to determine actual costs of the proposed position. The Public Safety Committee recommends initiating the process to create and fund the proposed position prior to next year’s budget process. Staff recommends that, if the City Council accepts the recommendation, that staff be directed to present a decision package during next year's proposed budget for further Council review and action.

Summary:

On August 22, 2023, the Public Safety Committee approved a motion to forward a recommendation to the City Council for the creation of a dedicated Emergency Operations Coordinator/Public Information Officer position to replace the City’s currently contracted emergency planning services. The Committee suggestion for the Council's consideration is the need for a full-time City employee, dedicated to addressing an ongoing need for enhanced coordination and strategic direction in emergency management, community disaster recovery, and improved public communication.

Background:

The Public Safety Committee has reviewed the City’s current efforts to establish a comprehensive emergency management framework. While acknowledging the efforts of our emergency planning consultant, Jacob Green and Associates, the Committee has raised concerns about the level of community engagement and clarity of deliverables.

The City has faced various challenges from geological events, including slope failures and infrastructure issues such as railroad track displacements, as well as hazardous environmental concerns along our coastline and ever-present potential for hazardous material incidents on the freeway. The Committee finds a lack of specialized City personnel dedicated solely to the critical tasks of emergency management and public information distribution under the current operations.

The proposed position aims to address these challenges. The role is intended to replace and enhance the duties currently contracted to Jacob Green and Associates. These duties involve planning, implementing, directing, and organizing activities to conduct all-hazards training 1 Meeting Date: December 5, 2023 Agenda Item: 10C

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
exercises for the City's emergency services, disaster preparedness, and community recovery programs. The position is also envisioned to serve as the City's representative for media inquiries, press releases, and social media alerts.

Furthermore, the proposed position would be responsible for maintaining the City's Emergency Operations Plan and the Emergency Operations Center activation procedures. It would also ensure compliance with established regulatory and funding requirements. Overall, this role would provide the much-needed continuity and strategic direction for the City to respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impact of natural, man-made, or technological disasters.

Additional Considerations:
 The City is allocated an annual amount of $143,830 for FY 2023-24 through the Memorandum of Understanding with Southern California Edison (SCE) for emergency management services with activities related to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. This amount equates to 66% of the baseline budget of $217,924 that was allocated initially. The annual amount will be consistent until July 1, 2029 when it will be decreased to $54,481. Currently, these funds are being utilized to pay for emergency management services provided by Jacob Green and Associates, in an amount not to exceed $90,000 per year. These funds could be reallocated to offset the costs to fund the proposed position.
 The City’s typical process for establishing new positions occurs during the annual budget adoption process through approval of a decision package. Should Council accept the recommendation, staff recommends utilizing this process for the proposed position and consider this position as a decision package during the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget process. The Public Safety Committee recommends initiating the process to create and fund the proposed position prior to next year’s budget process.

Council Options:
 Accept the recommendation and direct staff to initiate the process to create and fund the proposed position prior to next year’s budget process.
 Accept the recommendation and direct staff to present a decision package during next year's proposed budget for further Council review and action.
 Continue the item and direct staff to provide additional information.  Receive and file this report. This action would result in the maintenance of the City’s current operations related to emergency operations.

Environmental Review/Analysis:

Acceptance of the proposed recommendation and directing staff to initiate the process to create and fund the proposed position does not qualify as a "project" under the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15378(b)(2)) as it does not involve any direct or foreseeable indirect physical changes to the environment and is a personnel-related action.

Recommended Actions:

APPOINTMENT OF TWO COASTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS FROM ELIGIBILITY LIST ..body
Fiscal Impact:

The cost of adding two additional members on the Coastal Advisory Committee will result in an additional $660 annual cost for attendance at bi-monthly Committee meetings.

Summary:

At a special meeting on October 30, 2023, the City Council interviewed four qualified candidates, and appointed one candidate to fill the open position on the Coastal Advisory Committee. During the course of discussion, Council agendized a proposed code change to consider increasing the Coastal Advisory Committee from five to seven members.

Additionally, Council discussed the possibility of adding the three qualified candidates that were interviewed, but not selected, to an eligibility list, which could be used to appoint two additional Coastal Advisory Committee members, should Council adopt the proposed Ordinance.

At its regular meeting of November 7, 2023, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1768 to change the number of Coastal Advisory Committee members from five members to seven members. Additionally, the City Council directed staff to return to the December 5, 2023 Council meeting with an eligibility list made up of the three qualified applicants that were interviewed on October 30, 2023, but not selected at that time.

The second reading of Ordinance No. 1768 is on the December 5, 2023 agenda. If adopted, it will be effective January 4, 2024.

The three candidates under consideration are Richard Ayer, John R. Dolegowski and Brian Jacobs.

Council Options:
 If Ordinance No. 1768 was adopted, appoint two applicants from the eligibility list effective January 4, 2024.
 Direct staff to return to the City Council with additional information. 1 Meeting Date: December 5, 2023 Agenda Item: 10D

COASTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION

1. Name: John R. Dalegowski

2. How long have you lived in San Clemente?
36 years; I have been· a full-time San Clemente resident since 1987.

3. What is your occupation?
Retired Consulting Hydrogeologist and Environmental Project Manager

4. Please explain why you would like to serve on the Coastal Advisory Committee.

As a long-term resident of San Clemente, I have watched with increasing concern, the sequential reduction of our beach resources following winters of increased storm activities from El Nino conditions, northward migration of tropical storms, and sea level rise, and the detrimental effect the beach erosion has had on San Clemente and the ra ilroad corridor.

I have a strong allegiance to the City of the San Clemente, and I am motivated and dedicated to assist the City in addressing this problem. Now that I am retired, I have the necessary time to invest in this issue.

5. Please explain how your background and experience would contribute to the Coastal Advisory Committee.

My formal education in chemistry, geology, and hydrology and my 33 years of work experience in the State of Califonria as a consulting hydrogeologist (the study of groundwater), environmental project manager, and senior technical reviewer provides me with a firm scientific background to study and evaluate the issues involved with coastal resiliency, sand importation, and the native-based alternatives under consideration. I previously managed multi-million dollar interdisciplinary projects involving groundwater and soil contamination , remedial design, alternatives analysis, database management, and human health and ecological risk assessment.

6. What is your educational background?
High School/Colleges Attended Major Field of Study Degree? Lyons Township High School, LaGrange, ILL General Studies 1969 University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana Chemistry B.S., 1973 Univeristy of Arizona Geology, Hydrology M.S. 1985
6 7. Please explain any experience that you have had in community, governmental, charitable or educational affairs.

As the former project manager and senior technical reviewer for many large environmental projects in California, I have represented my clients (the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, the U.S. Marine Corp, U.S. Air Force, cities, private companies, etc.) by making presentations to regulatory agencies and city councils, and negotiating issues on their behalf. I have a good understanding and experience with scheduling, budgeting, government subcontracting requirements, community relations, public presentations, the CEQA/NEPA process. I have many relationships with regulatory agency members.

The only evening conflict I have is band practice every other Tuesday night for the Church to which I belong. The exact evening and date we meet is flexible to meet the schedule of the band members, so I cannot envision any circumstances in which I could not attend a meeting of the Coastal Advisory Committee.

9. Please describe your views on opportunities, if any, to preserve and enhance the City's coastal water resources.

Opportunities I have considered that may be helpful to preserve and enhance the coastal resources include:
(1} periodically dredging of Dana Point Harbor (especially the public anchoring area adjacent to Baby Beach} to augment more distant sand sources, (2) periodic breaching of the sand berm at Doheny Beach and Trestles during high ra infall years to allow accumulated sediment to be discharged into the ocean rather than accumulating behind the sand berms, (3) adding to existing shallow near-shore bedrock reefs to reduce wave energy prior to arrival at the beach front, (4) studying the rate of natural beach cliff erosion at Camp Pendleton in the absence of armouring as a control area, (5) increased coordination with Camp Pendleton to identify the railroad as a national security issue (to increase political pressure, and (6) holding a mini-conference with local, State, and Federal regulatory agencies to facilitate coordination, reduce duplicative analysis, and to bring additional awareness of coastal erosion issues in San Clemente.

10. Please use the space below to explain any other factors about yourself that you would like for the Councilmembers to consider as they review your application.

In addition to my experience as a hydrogeologist and environmental project manager, I am a specialist in groundwater chemistry and water quality evaluations. Prior to my work as a consulting hydrogeologist, I had_6 years professional experience as a chemist and 2 years experience as a hydrogeochemist with the U.S. Geological Survey. I have prepared numerous sampling and analysis plans, including those for drinking water systems. Note that although my technical experience is not directly in coastal processes, I have a strong environmental and scientific background and interest in this area, and I know how to get up to speed quickly on issues. Please let me know if you need a more detailed description of my work experience. I have had to keep the descriptions on the short side to fit within the format of this application. If I am not selected for this committee position, I would be happy to help out with data collection, compilation, and analysis. Keep me in mind for future opportunities to get involved.

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE

COASTAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPLICATION
I believe it is important to be civically engaged in your community. I enjoy being engaged, involved, and to give back to my community. I wish to continue my engagement following completing the city's 2023 Leadership program. Furthermore, I believe my professional work background in environmental assessments/investigation, geotechnical slope stability, beach erosion, sand preservation, stormwater management, water quality issues and people management skills would fill a critical need on the Coastal Advisory Commission
I believe my 35+ years of professional work experience in environmental water quality investigations, beach erosion, storm water monitoring & reporting, and people management skills would complement the needs of this commission. I have a problem solving, "can do" attitude.

My background in hydraulics, hydrogeology, engineering, storm water sampling & permitting, and erosion control gives me a solid foundation in understanding the key issues that the commission will need to address.

This understanding will benefit the city when reviewing and evaluating the Nature Based Resiliency Project Feasibility Study as well as monitoring the progress of the USACE's Public Restoration Project.

5. Please explain how your background and experience would contribute to the Coastal Advisory Committee.

6. What is your educational background?
High School/Colleges Attended Major Field of Study Degree? As an environmental professional, I have dealt with many governmental and regulatory agencies, such as:
1) Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), 2) USEPA, 3) CA Regional Water Quality Board (RWQCB), 4) LA METRO, 5) LA Dept of Beach & Harbors, 6) Professional Environmental Management Association (Acting VP, past treasurer)
As a private citizen...
1) Past President, VP, and treasurer of Fullerton Recreational Riders - Liaison to City of Fullerton & managed establish MOU re: water quality, 2) Volunteer at Family Assistance Ministries (FAM), 3) Volunteer/advocate at Mission San Juan Capistrano providing tours to 4th graders and private VIP tours/events promoting the importance of the Spanish Mission System as start of California's history, and 4) Completed the city of San Clemente’s Leadership Program in 2023.

The eroding beaches is major problem that needs to be controlled if San Clemente is to remain a destination spot for businesses and visitors. I support programs to study beach erosional currents and sand replenishment/preservation.

We need to continue efforts to secure funding for beach restoration, such as the USACE Public Beach Restoration Project starting this fall (hopefully) from Linda Lane to north of T-Street. This will have an immediate impact on the quality of our beaches and elevate interest from the local public, county supervisors, and state/federal elected officials to invest in additional coastal studies, sand preservation approaches, and nature-based conservancy model.

In addition to having participated in San Clemente's 2023 Leadership Program and other civic organizations, I am a practical, levelheaded, civic-minded resident with over 35 years of professional experience in geologic assessments, environmental planning, policy, public surveys/meetings, and science-based studies. Facts, and solid science-based studies must be conducted and presented to policy decision makers for the best outcomes to be realized. I believe I can provide the city reliable professional opinions and recommendations as member of the Coastal Advisory Commission.
