E. New Business for Discussion and Possible Action
2. 22-0364 Plans for Gulf Beach and Packery Channel monitoring/beach management by
City staff
There is no report on this. Terry did add that he and Meredith were going to reach out to
Greg Smith in hopes of getting some communication going with the City.
3. 22-0365 PRAC Report - Howard Schauer
Howard relayed the information to PRAC that the monitoring must continue and he will
ask again at the next meeting for any feedback. He also relayed that there was a
discussion about the dog way stations on the Bay Front Parks that are not installed. Cliff
added that the dog way station is a subject that the Surfriders have taken up and are
currently working on.
4. 22-0366 ISAC Report
Nothing to report, Terry was not able to attend this meeting.
5. 22-0367 BMAC Report - Cliff Schlabach
Cliff had a couple of items to share, the first being a request to build at the La Concha
development. This development was "grandfathered" in before the 350' boundary away
from the vegetation rule was set in place. The other issue is if there are sand dunes that
have established themselves in the area, it's harder to get the permit required to build.
This lot was probably 200' from the vegetation but the dunes had not developed so
BMAC gave their ok and it moved on to the Commissioners' Court for the final approval.
The other item was that he was elected chair of the committee.
6. 22-0368 Staff Liaison Report
Darren reported on Beach Operations' preparations for Spring Break. Emergency lanes
have been created, there are extra portable toilets on the beach and extra trash cans. He
reported that the lifeguards and permit sellers are ready to go. Darren gave a recap of
lifeguards numbers from last Spring Break and reassured Philippe that Beach
Operations was ready. Darren talked about "Mount Zahn" and how the kids are enjoying
it.
