This month's Dana Point Harbor Oversight Advisory Committee (DPHOAC) meeting commenced with an update from Tyler Mosher, representing Supervisor Foley's office. There was positive news regarding the replenishment of the Capistrano and Doheny Beach shorelines. Mr. Mosher advised that 20,000 cubic yards of sand would be trucked in from the Santa Ana River to bolster these popular stretches of coastline.
Christian Gagne, the Dana Point Harbor Oversight Manager for the County of Orange, presented a powerpoint presentation summarizing the community inquiries regarding the DPHP slip rate increase. These questions, compiled from DPH Oversight email submissions (DPHOversight@ocgov.com), phone calls, and letters, were further supplemented by those raised from the Supervisor’s June 21st Coffee Chat. The complete presentation can be found at the link below.
Following Mr. Gagne's presentation, the committee was informed about a forthcoming meeting with Kelly Rinderknecht of Dana Point Harbor Partners and representatives from the County's CEO Real Estate team.
