The underside of the Oceanside Pier has water, wastewater, natural gas, electrical, and communication lines which support the lifeguard tower, fire hydrants, restrooms, lighting, restaurant, fish cleaning stations, and bait shop. Many of these utilities have achieved 35 years of service in the harsh marine environment, and their replacement has begun. Parking Lot 29 on the Strand, north of the Pier, is closed during the work. The lot closure is needed for the excavation and construction of water and sewer line connection points, meter, backflow, fire suppression appurtenances, construction staging, and materials.

Nurses Retain Top Ethics Rating in U.S., but Below 2020 High
BY MEGAN BRENAN/Gallup
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nurses continue to garner the highest ethics rating from Americans among a diverse list of professions, a distinction they have held for more than two decades. The 79% of U.S. adults who now say nurses have “very high” or “high” honesty and ethical standards is far more than any of the other 17 professions rated. Still, the current rating is 10 percentage points lower than the highest rating for nurses, recorded in 2020, when they were on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and their ethics ratings soared.
Two other health-related professions that enjoyed similar bumps in their ethics ratings in 2020 — medical doctors and pharmacists — now rank second and third behind nurses, with 62% and 58% of Americans, respectively, rating them highly. And like nurses, both of these professions’ ethics ratings dropped significantly in 2021 and edged down further this year. All three are now below their prepandemic levels.
Pharmacists, who typically earned higher trust ratings than doctors before 2013, have ranked slightly below that profession since the pandemic and now register their lowest ethics rating in four decades of measurement (58%) by one point. Medical doctors’ rating is at its lowest point since 1999 and nurses’ since 2004.
Carlsbad City Council Chooses Appointment Process for District 2 Vacancy
The Carlsbad City Council decided Tuesday to conduct an appointment process to fill the District 2 City Council seat left vacant when Keith Blackburn was elected mayor. Blackburn previously served as the District 2 City Council member for a term ending in 2024.
District 2 residents are invited to submit topics they would like applicants to address during their oral presentations to the City Council at a special meeting Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. Email topics to the City Clerk at clerk@carlsbadca.gov by Feb. 8 at 5 p.m. Emails will become part of the public record and provided as part of the Feb. 15 meeting materials.
Under the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the City Council had the initial option of holding a special election or using an appointment process to fill the seat. Had the City Council decided on a special election, it could not have been held until Nov. 7 at an estimated cost $275,000 to $475,000. The code also specifies that a person appointed to a City Council position may not run for that same office until one year after the appointment ends.
District 2 boundaries
The city’s Independent Redistricting Commission approved new district boundaries last February, something that must be done every 10 years following the Census. However, because Blackburn was elected by voters in the district boundaries in place in 2020, the California Election Code says those boundaries apply when considering eligibility for his successor. The new District 2 boundaries are effective starting with the 2024 election.
Eligibility
To be considered for appointment, residents must live and be registered to vote in the 2020 district 2 boundaries.
Applicants are required to submit a California Statement of Economic Interest Form 700 with their applications.
Selection process
The application period will be from Jan. 12 to Feb. 2. Applications will be available on the city’s website or at the Office of the City Clerk, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive.
Submitted applications will be posted to the city’s website as they come in, once the City Clerk’s office verifies eligibility.
Council members will have no contact with applicants once applications are submitted.
City Council members will consider the applicants at a special City Council meeting Feb. 15.
Each applicant will be invited to make a four-minute oral presentation at the meeting.
A simple majority (three of the four current members) is required to make an appointment.
The new member would be sworn in at the next City Council meeting.
The appointment must be made by Feb. 24. Otherwise, the seat would be filled by a special election on Nov. 7.

Visit Oceanside Spearheads Creation of Destination’s First Sustainable Tourism Master Plan
Oceanside, Calif.- January 4, 2023— Recognizing the importance of smart tourism growth that aligns with environmental and community priorities, Visit Oceanside is collaborating with the City of Oceanside to develop the destination’s first ever Sustainable Tourism Master Plan. The plan will provide a 10-year blueprint for stewarding tourism growth towards a sustainable future to benefit the economy, environment, residents and visitors.
Oceanside is the first destination in San Diego County, and one of only two California destinations, to utilize best practices and criteria established by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) in developing its plan. The destination will be evaluated against GSTC standards, which aim to help tourism fulfill its potential as a vehicle for social, cultural, and economic good while removing and avoiding any negative impacts from its activities in terms of environmental and social impacts.
“The pandemic shed a light on the importance of a holistic approach to tourism that balances economic benefit with quality of life for residents and health of the destination,” said Leslee Gaul, Visit Oceanside CEO. “We are proud that Oceanside has not only taken a lead in formalizing this effort, but also committed to measuring our future product development, policies and achievements against the leading standard for sustainability in the world.”
Visit Oceanside’s Sustainable Tourism Master Plan will identify an overarching vision as well as provide an action plan for pursuing the experiences, product, infrastructure and policies that align with the plan’s four objectives: visitor quality experience, quality of economy, environmental quality and resident quality of life. The initial phase of the project includes a sustainability assessment, destination assessment, competitive analysis and stakeholder engagement. Input from residents, businesses and city leaders will be gathered through a series of online surveys, focus groups and town halls in the first quarter of 2023. The plan is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“Over the last 10 years, Oceanside has realized so much of its potential as a visitor destination, and our goal is to nurture future progress in a way that continues to impact the community for good,” says Gaul. “This process is really a reflection of our love for this city and our desire for it to thrive for many years to come. We are excited about having a roadmap and achievable recommendations that are designed to protect our coastal environment and benefit locals as well as those who come to visit.”

Storms Helping in San Diego County Drought, More Rain Needed
by: Sarah Alegre
SAN DIEGO – The series of storms that are moving through California are helping with the drought, but there’s still more work to be done.
Despite the ongoing rain, experts suggest while it’s beneficial, the state and the county aren’t out of the woods quite yet.
The wet weather has led to a cautious celebration for Pam Meisner with the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyama College.
The wave of atmospheric river storms, although leading to dangerous coastal flooding, has helped in her efforts to combat the statewide drought.
“We welcome any rain when it can come but as we know, rain is very scarce in Southern California,” said Meisner, otherwise known as “Smarty Plants.”
Ocean Beach Pier shut down as more storms move in
“We get all of that snow until the summer which slowly melts over time and refills are reservoirs,” Chris Robbins explained to FOX 5 with the Vallecitos Water District.
The state also gets 50 percent of its water from the Colorado River, which according to the National Weather Service is running dry in comparison.
San Diego County has recorded nearly 4.5 inches of rain from the start of October, meaning the county is 122 percent above normal for this time of year.
“We are in a really good position compared to other parts of the state but that doesn’t mean we can continue stopping our conservation actions,” said Efren Lopez, the Water Resources Specialist with the San Diego County Water Authority.
The county has been a leader in water conservation efforts for decades and is full of smart water conservation advice to help San Diegans conserve and adopt “WaterSmart” practices.
Bottomline, snowpack in the Sierra Nevada is higher than at any time in history, with levels 257 percent above average, a significant compensation after years of little to nothing.
“It has been a drop in the bucket, basically for a whole year of no water, so we’re getting some rain now and we’re very grateful for that, but it would have to rain like it has this past month continually for almost 9 months to get us back to where we could feel comfortable about having enough water.”
