Piers 421 Last Shorezone Oil Production Piers Removed
9:00 a.m.
The State Lands Commission is hosting an event to celebrate the successful removal of Piers 421 – the last shorezone oil production piers. We will meet in the public parking location next to the Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort & Spa (follow the directions to the Bacara Resort & Spa and look for the coastal access/beach parking lot on the left – the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Club parking lot, which also serves as the public parking lot for visitors to Haskell’s Beach) in the City of Goleta. At approximately 9:05 a.m., we will walk ½ mile along the beach to the former location of the piers. The event will end at approximately 11:00 a.m., in time for the Commission to convene its 12:00 p.m. meeting. The public is invited to attend in their own private vehicles. Please note that carpooling and ride sharing is strongly encouraged as parking is very limited. Additionally, the terrain is uneven and proper attire, including sturdy, closed-toe footwear, should be worn.

Instructions on how to join the Zoom meeting and provide public comment.
Since 1938, the Commission has consisted of these same members: the Lieutenant Governor, the State Controller, and the Governor’s Director of Finance. The combination of the two principal financial officers of the state with two statewide elected officials ensures that decisions made by the Commission are fiscally sound and in the best interests of the state. Public awareness and participation are assured because Commission actions occur at properly noticed public meetings.

In addition, staff reports are prepared for each item and posted on the Commission’s website once they are finalized. The Commission may only take action on items that are described on the agenda.
All meetings start at 1 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Commission meeting dates, times, and locations are subject to change. Special meetings may be scheduled with ten days of public notice. Meeting locations will be announced as they become available. All persons having applications or other business before the Commission will be automatically notified in accordance with state open meeting laws.
Public Participation
The public is encouraged to participate in the Commission’s decision-making process. You can do this by attending the public meetings or by submitting a written comment before the meeting. Please submit written comments at least three business days prior to the meeting so the Commissioners have sufficient time to review your comment prior to the meeting.
