BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2020, the Redondo Beach Harbor Commission held a special meeting to discuss the proposed maintenance dredging in King Harbor. The meeting was convened to discuss and respond to a public notice issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (“ACOE”) soliciting public comment on the proposed dredging project. After an extensive discussion, the Harbor Commission voted to prepare and send two letters. The first was a comment letter sent to the ACOE on October 29, 2020 expressing the Commission’s concern related to various technical aspects of the project (attached as Exhibit A). The second letter is to the Redondo Beach City Council outlining several requests/recommendations to the Council regarding the dredging project (attached as Exhibit B).
Staff is recommending that the Harbor Commission receive and file the letter to the ACOE and that the Commission review the draft letter to the City Council and provide appropriate direction.
