Introduction of Ordinance Nos. CS-082 and CS-083. Resolution Nos. 2010-081 and 2010-082. ACTION:
AB #20,194 and #20,195
15 A - Sierra Morena traffic control management program. Doug Bilse transportation engineer check his title
traffic calming is set by CRPMT both will be used as pilot projects to evaluate proposed bhanges to the crtmp which guides the use of traffic calming measures. this is a pilot program. these are stop signs not traffic signals.
they surveyed residents, 57% return rate, 85% support from those for the project. meets the new criteria. speed tables are made in a way to not mess with safety personnel. Hall asked, the table, does the table make a sound, any tire noise? Bilse said a little noise it is made of asphalt. there is a little texture but nothing intentional to make noise. not significant noise. no other quesions.
Kim Clark - Sierra Morena, Carlsbad, spoke in support the traffic calming measures. it's a matter of public safety. Packard - where are you on the street? She's near valewood. nothing else form the public. City attorney titled the ordinance. reso and ord vote 5/0
Item 15 B mayor stepped down at 7:14 because this is the area in which he lives. Doug Bilse - presented, related to Donna Drive. adding stops and striping.
there was some amendment, was this before or after publication of the agenda????******* revise to postpone stops at donna at lee, but move forward with other stops, striping. no questions, Russ Sarencioni, Carlsbad, came forward to address council, donna and janis way. would like to see more police presences during school drop off and pick up to help with traffic areas. how fast were people driving when they did the survey. what is the cost of striping. what other beach communities have done this and where have they been successful.
Mr. Lewis, Carlsbad, came forward to address Council. He lives on Basswood, spoke for other residents, he supports the stop signs, and says the cops are there a few times a month to make a presence. officers showing up have lessened number of accidents.
Bilse addressed that guys questions - police presence- 70 citations for speeding in the last 3 years. pd presence is not a lasting solution, this is more reasonable. pd can do a better job of enforcing stop control. this is less expensive and more permenant. the striping width - going to take away the width, it will be more constrained with a right side stripe, called side friction helps with controlling speeds. this is a pilot program so we'll see. all stops are all way stops. ideally a roundabout, but it's more expensive. this is more cost effective, if it doesn't work then they may try circles. $2000 per each stop sign, 12000 for entire donna project except for table. other beach communities - we've done this before and it's been good experience. these are not traditional but it's pilot program wanna see how effective they are.
packard asked - why not stop at janis? dips (drainage dips) there work just as good as speed bumbs, but they will study it.
Blackburn - did a good job of balancing needs and desires of residents. Packard - another questions was, cost, these are funds allocated for this project.
matt motioned, mark seconded, 4/0/1 lewis absent. for both ord and reso
16. AB 20,183 - APPROVAL OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE MULTI-AGENCY BATIQUITOS LAGOON AGREEMENT. To consider approving the first amendment to a multi-agency agreement for the Marine Habitat Enhancement of Batiquitos Lagoon. Resolution No. 2010-071. ACTION:
AB #20,183
Jantz presented powerpoint presentation on file in the office of the city clerk. and mike grim.
establishes roles and resposibilites of each signatory agency. national marine fisheries and one other see the slide, CAFG state lands commission, city of carlsbad, city/port of LA. 6 party agreement. cbad is project manager. did design, ER , post project and monitoring.
transferred to another agency, the amendment is to establish a steering committee with the remaining 5, city/port of LA already met their requirements. so they are no longer in the 6 party agreement. Mike Grim 10 year fire report. one requirement is post construction. they finalized that in final report. change in lagoon isn't necessarily a bad thing. the lagoon is very healthy and more types of habitats. more connection to the ocean, more wildlife music, increase in bird and fish populations. the enhancement is a success. can be used as a model for other lagoon restoration projects.
noteworthy part of report, need to continue dredging, not self sustaining so we need to help it along its way. implement land management plan for batiquitos lagoon ecological reserve, nesting site maintenance, maintain special status species reporting and predator and invasive species control. continue physical and biological monitoring and continue regular dredging and cobble removal, consider strategic dredging in east basin.
staff recommends adoption of resolution. kulchin - grim i thought when we dredged we would move it to the beach or east basin, are we still doing that? nesting is similar to new sand, orginal dredge project and moved the muck buried it and capped it with beach sand. other options. hall how much do we need to move to really catch up? 200k will clean out the center and western basin, the cap over the mud is sensitive, need material on top of mud to keep it balanced. the 200k cubic yards is above and beyond, grim - estimate 400 kcubic yards, more strategic dredging, reduced the amount to dredge so the lagoon is better. hall will this expediete the process will we keep falling behind? this hels fish and game move forward. all entities working together will help,
packard - dredging 2 edge sword, lagoon need dredging but the beach needs sand, can they move it to the beach? mike said yes they can use it on the beach. litening permit restrictions for dredging and sand replenishments. it is suitable so they want to use it, can get around testing the quality of the dredge everytime. packard why only 200 mike we don't want to over dredge, not for economic resonsa? mike set yes some limitied funds but still maintain as a healthy lagoon. packard- report used for model? also for Buena Vista? will this be a model for buena vista? mike said, bv is very different, many issues is not directly applicable but the science is similar?
Fred Sandquist, batiquitos lagoon foundation, supports the project and asks for council to support. thanked council for funding ag mitigation report that funding this report. question about a breach of the cap on the muck has raised bacteria levels (theory). not all is beach quality sand.
kulchin - bob hoffman marine fisheries supports this. ann motioned and hall seconded. 5/0

AB #20,194 and #20,195
15 A - Sierra Morena traffic control management program. Doug Bilse transportation engineer check his title
traffic calming is set by CRPMT both will be used as pilot projects to evaluate proposed bhanges to the crtmp which guides the use of traffic calming measures. this is a pilot program. these are stop signs not traffic signals.
they surveyed residents, 57% return rate, 85% support from those for the project. meets the new criteria. speed tables are made in a way to not mess with safety personnel. Hall asked, the table, does the table make a sound, any tire noise? Bilse said a little noise it is made of asphalt. there is a little texture but nothing intentional to make noise. not significant noise. no other quesions.
Kim Clark - Sierra Morena, Carlsbad, spoke in support the traffic calming measures. it's a matter of public safety. Packard - where are you on the street? She's near valewood. nothing else form the public. City attorney titled the ordinance. reso and ord vote 5/0
Item 15 B mayor stepped down at 7:14 because this is the area in which he lives. Doug Bilse - presented, related to Donna Drive. adding stops and striping.
there was some amendment, was this before or after publication of the agenda????******* revise to postpone stops at donna at lee, but move forward with other stops, striping. no questions, Russ Sarencioni, Carlsbad, came forward to address council, donna and janis way. would like to see more police presences during school drop off and pick up to help with traffic areas. how fast were people driving when they did the survey. what is the cost of striping. what other beach communities have done this and where have they been successful.
Mr. Lewis, Carlsbad, came forward to address Council. He lives on Basswood, spoke for other residents, he supports the stop signs, and says the cops are there a few times a month to make a presence. officers showing up have lessened number of accidents.
Bilse addressed that guys questions - police presence- 70 citations for speeding in the last 3 years. pd presence is not a lasting solution, this is more reasonable. pd can do a better job of enforcing stop control. this is less expensive and more permenant. the striping width - going to take away the width, it will be more constrained with a right side stripe, called side friction helps with controlling speeds. this is a pilot program so we'll see. all stops are all way stops. ideally a roundabout, but it's more expensive. this is more cost effective, if it doesn't work then they may try circles. $2000 per each stop sign, 12000 for entire donna project except for table. other beach communities - we've done this before and it's been good experience. these are not traditional but it's pilot program wanna see how effective they are.
packard asked - why not stop at janis? dips (drainage dips) there work just as good as speed bumbs, but they will study it.
Blackburn - did a good job of balancing needs and desires of residents. Packard - another questions was, cost, these are funds allocated for this project.
matt motioned, mark seconded, 4/0/1 lewis absent. for both ord and reso
16. AB 20,183 - APPROVAL OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE MULTI-AGENCY BATIQUITOS LAGOON AGREEMENT. To consider approving the first amendment to a multi-agency agreement for the Marine Habitat Enhancement of Batiquitos Lagoon. Resolution No. 2010-071. ACTION:
AB #20,183
Jantz presented powerpoint presentation on file in the office of the city clerk. and mike grim.
establishes roles and resposibilites of each signatory agency. national marine fisheries and one other see the slide, CAFG state lands commission, city of carlsbad, city/port of LA. 6 party agreement. cbad is project manager. did design, ER , post project and monitoring.
transferred to another agency, the amendment is to establish a steering committee with the remaining 5, city/port of LA already met their requirements. so they are no longer in the 6 party agreement. Mike Grim 10 year fire report. one requirement is post construction. they finalized that in final report. change in lagoon isn't necessarily a bad thing. the lagoon is very healthy and more types of habitats. more connection to the ocean, more wildlife music, increase in bird and fish populations. the enhancement is a success. can be used as a model for other lagoon restoration projects.
noteworthy part of report, need to continue dredging, not self sustaining so we need to help it along its way. implement land management plan for batiquitos lagoon ecological reserve, nesting site maintenance, maintain special status species reporting and predator and invasive species control. continue physical and biological monitoring and continue regular dredging and cobble removal, consider strategic dredging in east basin.
staff recommends adoption of resolution. kulchin - grim i thought when we dredged we would move it to the beach or east basin, are we still doing that? nesting is similar to new sand, orginal dredge project and moved the muck buried it and capped it with beach sand. other options. hall how much do we need to move to really catch up? 200k will clean out the center and western basin, the cap over the mud is sensitive, need material on top of mud to keep it balanced. the 200k cubic yards is above and beyond, grim - estimate 400 kcubic yards, more strategic dredging, reduced the amount to dredge so the lagoon is better. hall will this expediete the process will we keep falling behind? this hels fish and game move forward. all entities working together will help,
packard - dredging 2 edge sword, lagoon need dredging but the beach needs sand, can they move it to the beach? mike said yes they can use it on the beach. litening permit restrictions for dredging and sand replenishments. it is suitable so they want to use it, can get around testing the quality of the dredge everytime. packard why only 200 mike we don't want to over dredge, not for economic resonsa? mike set yes some limitied funds but still maintain as a healthy lagoon. packard- report used for model? also for Buena Vista? will this be a model for buena vista? mike said, bv is very different, many issues is not directly applicable but the science is similar?
Fred Sandquist, batiquitos lagoon foundation, supports the project and asks for council to support. thanked council for funding ag mitigation report that funding this report. question about a breach of the cap on the muck has raised bacteria levels (theory). not all is beach quality sand.
kulchin - bob hoffman marine fisheries supports this. ann motioned and hall seconded. 5/0
