City Engineer, Mr. Johnson, reported that pursuant to CoUncil authori- zation,the engineering firm of Moffatt & Nichol have completed their study of the sand erosion in the Surfs ide area and introduced Dr. J. Walker of Moffatt & Nichol. Dr. Walker presented a summary review of their study and stated they had addressed the continuing erosion 3-8-82 I process of the Surfs ide beach and explored long term and emergency shore protection measures. Dr. Walker stated that the next Corp of Engineers sponsored nourishment program is not scheduled until 1983, noting that the beach front homes will be in jeopardy by the next winter season. Dr. Walker stated the most immediate solution would be the replacement of beach sand and suggested transportation of sand from an area approximately 1000 feet downcoast referred to as the "bulge" or from the Anaheim Bay area. Dr. Walker described other alternatives such as construction of a sheet pile seawall, a perpendicular groin, 100 to 300 foot breakwater parallel to the wave action, a spur on the Anaheim Bay south getty or installation of longard tubes and provided an estimated cost of each. Dr. Walker also recommended that the Corp of Engineers be approached to step up their sand nourishment program. Lengthy discussion followed regarding the responsibility of the federal government to resolve the erosion problem, availability and location of replacement sand, the possibility of implementing a legal action against the federal government and the legality of expending city funds in the private community of Surfside. The City Engineer reported that he had been informed the Navy has moved up their scheduled dredging of Anaheim Bay to September of this year which would generate sand for some replenishment of the Surfs ide and main beach areas as well as the Weapons Station beach and provide a partial short term solution. The City Engineer stated that should the Council determine to consider pursuing one of the proposed protective measures as set forth in the study, a revetment being the most feasible, the next step would be to pursue any available fUnding, noting that the City's congressional representatives are aware of the problem. The City Attorney cautioned against the use of public funds to correct a problem not created by the City and which would be to the benefit of private properties and recommended funding be pursued from the appro- priate agencies. The difficulty in obtaining a long term commitment for federal assistance without a contractual agreement was mentioned. The City Manager reviewed the potential legal ramifications with the expenditure of public funds to construct any type of shoreline I I 3-8-82 protection and suggested that an assessment district could be formed to finance a protective project initiated by the Colony and that efforts could continue to pursue increased participation by the State and Federal governments. Mr. Joe Rullo, President of the Surfside Board of Directors, agreed that construction of a revetment would provide greater protection, however stated an increased nourishment program is the best solution, suggesting every three years or more sand of the proper quality every five years, and that the City join in any legal action against the Federal Government if such action is deemed necessary. The City Manager suggested that the staff investigate the availability of all State and Federal funding, alternative means of financing, obtain a statement from the Corps of Engineers regarding their financial resources and replenishment time frame, and that the City Attorney investigate the parameters of legal action against the Federal government and that this information be brought back to the Council for consideration. No formal action was taken on this item.
