He also shared Parks’ intended approach during Spring Break to make sure people are purchasing the required permits. Beach Ops Superintendent Darren Gurley gave an update on the shocking and persistent vandalism occurring with the new restrooms. He informed ISAC that two of the restrooms have been pulled for repairs and the remaining two will be placed at Zahn and 3A during Spring break from 6 am to 6 pm. He stated that the Skid- O-Cans; however, will stay in place through Spring break. Mr. Gurley added that a decision to use the restrooms on special occasions and only for scheduled periods of time may have to be considered until a solution to prevent vandalism can be reached. Mr. Gurley also updated the committee on the access roads open during Spring break (Newport Pass, Zahn, Access Rd2 & 3A). 3.
