- Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the United States Army Corps of Engineers for additional dredging of the Oceanside Harbor entrance for beach nourishment.

Staff report note: The City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District in 2019 to provide additional sand from dredging when it becomes available. The City is allowed to piggyback on the Corps project after the required navigational channel depths are met and provide additional sand on City beaches ahead of the summer season. The City will only pay for additional dredged sand above the set limit which is necessary to maintain the channel depths and reduce navigational hazards. If no additional sand is available to be dredged from the project, the City will not fund any work.

- Acceptance of the report from Q2 Data and Research LLC on the 2020 decennial census data to redraw the City Council District Boundaries in accordance with California Elections Code 21621, and receive public testimony on the composition of districts for City Council Offices.
