City r ENCLosuass : of June 13, 1996 RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the proposed Resolution requesting the State of Florida to provide adequate funding for the preservation and repair of the state's beaches; to recognize the need for funding non-federal projects and to identify a long-term funding source. BACKGROUND Beaches are and continue to be Florida's number one tourist attraction and thus are vital to the state's economic well-being -- generating over $9 billion in beach -related sales annually and contributing to a ripple effect to the Florida economy of over $16 billion. Although severe beach erosion continues to be a major problem in Florida with coastal development threatening this important natural resource, federal funding for beach and inlet projects is declining, resulting in delays in implementation of needed erosion projects and placing a burden on local sources. At the same time, navigation inlets cause some 80 percent of beach erosion in Florida and the most cost-effective way to reduce erosion is to recapture sand from inlets and place it on the eroded downdrift beaches. During the Ninth Annual National Conference on Beach Preservation Technology, held in St. Petersburg, Florida on January 24-26, 1996, support was sought from local, state and federal community leaders regarding necessary funding for beach renourishment programs. During the conference, various references such as the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, etc. were cited, pointing out how critical beaches are to the U.S. economy, creation of jobs, and American competitiveness globally. It was recommended that localities mobilize public support and identify sources of funding for beach renourishment programs. To this end, the Village of Key Biscayne, Florida, adopted Resolution No. 96-7 on April 9, 1996 requesting that the Legislature of the State of Florida provide adequate annual funding to carry out a state-wide comprehensive beach management program to protect Florida's beaches and repair those that are severely damaged. The Administration recommends adoption of the attached resolution. cc: Resolution 96- 384 1
