The Mission Beach Town Council supports the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) in its intent to host the World Beach Games played in San Diego and Mission Beach during late September- early October 2017, as the concept was presented to the Town Council Board and Membership in January, 2016. The Town Council also accepts the invitation by ANOC to appoint representatives to the ANOC committee established to organize the games in Mission Beach.
Discussion followed: Mary Saska requests that nighttime business associated with the World Beach Games be kept in Mission Beach and not shuttle the people downtown. Alan Murray stated that the actual activities will take place over a 10 day period with set up for the event taking approximately three weeks and the tear down will take one week. There is a lot of information on their website www.worldbeachgamessandiego.org. Traffic flow is a concern. Fred said that Scott, Gary and Matt should make it clear to the World Beach Game committee that the nighttime business should say in our beach area. Scott Morrison feels that the city is going to do what they want to do regardless of our input. It basically is a done deal. All we can do is to see if we can make it better.
