Meeting Date 8/28/84
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /W. Requesting an Extension of Time on the Authori-
zation to Consider a Second Harbor Opening
in San Diego Harbor
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney)4 (4/5ths Vote: Yes NO )
This resolution will request that the time for acting on the
proposed second harbor entrance to San Diego be extended into the
next federal fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has been conducting a study on
the feasibility of a second harbor entrance to San Diego Harbor.
This study has proceeded for a number of years and much of the
data contained in the study has become outdated. The Corps has
taken what is essentially a negative position on the second harbor
entrance.
Action on this proposal is presently scheduled to take place
within the present federal fiscal year which ends in September,
1984. Given the negative report by the Corps of Engineers, in all
likelihood, this proposal would be unsuccessful. If action is
taken and the proposal is denied, it would be very difficult to
start over again based upon new data. It would be much easier to
extend the time for action upon this proposal and attempt to
supplement the current information.
There is also some possibility that the second harbor entrance
could have some benefits to national defense. An extension of
time would allow us to explore the possibilities in this area in
greater depth. The second harbor entrance could provide fuel and
training cost savings to the Navy while at the same time providing
recreational and commercial boating benefits to the private
sector. We may want to suggest some contribution to the cost of
the second harbor entrance from the various sectors which would be
benefited. It would take some more time to put together such a
proposal. Therefore, it is recommended that we seek an extension
into the next federal fiscal year.

Dear Ms. Fulasz:
In view of your City Council Resolution 11745 adopted August
28, 1984, we will not forward our report on the San Diego Harbor
Second Entrance at this time. We cannot, however, hold this
report indefinitely, so I have set the new date for forwarding
the report as January 1,1985.
I hope this will allow you sufficient time to conduct your
studies. If you have reasons as to why we should hold our report
beyond January 1, 1985, please present them to me along with an
estimate of when you feel we could release it.
Sincerely,
Carl F. Enson
Chief, Planning Division
