# Beaches Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting October 13, 2026

The City of San Clemente Beaches, Parks and Recreation Committee met on October 13, 2026. The main business item was a proposed residential eligibility and verification policy for recreation benefits. Commissioners discussed requiring photo identification alongside residency documents and whether San Clemente commercial property or business owners should qualify for discounts, particularly for golf. The discussion also addressed primary residency, renters, and how to verify adults on shared accounts. The proposal was to return to the subcommittee for refinement and further discussion with the Golf Committee before potentially going to the City Council; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote. No contract awards, bids, or dollar amounts were reported in this item.

Staff reported that the City has assumed operational responsibility for the Beach Club, which is closed through year-end for flooring repairs and other improvements. The City is taking reservations for 2027 and staff said it is executing exclusive vendor agreements with caterers in several categories; no vendors, contract values, or procurement method were identified. The committee also received a report on work underway to combine beach-sand retention materials and improve public engagement, with possible grants and funding opportunities mentioned generally but no specific funding action. No other purchasing decisions were identified.
