Res 29-95 RESOLUTION NO. 29-95
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, OPPOSING RECOMMENDATIONS IN
THE PRESIDENT'S FISCAL YEAR 1996 BUDGET REQUEST WHICH
WOULD REMOVE FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN WATER PROJECTS,
INCLUDING BEACH NOURISHMENT PROJECTS, WHICH ARE NOT
"NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT"; RECOMMENDING THAT THE
CURRENT FEDERAL CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION AND
COST-SHARING BE RETAINED, AND OPPOSING ANY FUTURE
LEGISLATION WHICH MAY ELIMINATE OR REDUCE FEDERAL
PARTICIPATION IN SUCH PROJECTS.
WHEREAS, President Clinton's Fiscal Year 1996 budget request
contains proposals to introduce legislation which will eliminate
federal financial participation in water projects, including shore
erosion control, hurricane and storm damage reduction, and flood
control projects which are not considered to be of "national
significance", and including all beach nourishment projects
nationwide; and
WHEREAS, for those projects which can demonstrate "national
significance", the Administration proposes to increase the minimum
qualifying benefit/cost ratio to 2:1 from 1:1, and to increase the
non-federal share of the cost from 25% to 75%; and
WHEREAS, Delray Beach's public beach has been and is
continuing to experience moderate to severe erosion due to natural
causes such as storms and sea level rise, and man-made influences; and
WHEREAS, since 1973, the City of Delray Beach through Palm
Beach County has acted as local sponsor for a federally funded beach
nourishment project, providing at least 100 feet of beach width along
approximately three miles of the County's coast, at a total cost of
$14,000,000 of which 86.2 million was the federal investment, $4.3
million was the state share, and $3.5 million was the local cost; and
WHEREAS, the value of shorefront development in Delray Beach
which is protected by beaches from hurricane and storm wave damage
represents a substantial portion of the city's tax base; and
WHEREAS, the health of our beaches is fundamental to the
health of Palm Beach County's tourism industry, which in turn is a
foundation of the County's overall economy; and
WHEREAS, according to a recent Corps of Engineers study, the
justification for federal participation in beach renourishment and
erosion control projects is and has been their demonstrated
contribution to the nation's national economic development (NED)
consistent with protecting the nation's environment pursuant to
environmental statutes, applicable executive orders, and requirements
to preserve human safety, social well-being and cultural and historic
resources; and
WHEREAS, beaches are the most important single factor
influencing tourists to visit Florida; and
WHEREAS, the 21.6 million tourists who annually visit
Florida's beaches directly spend $7.9 billion, create 359,000 jobs and
generate $15.4 billion for Florida's economy; and
WHEREAS, seven million foreign tourists visit Florida each
year, with 2.3 million from Canada, who stay an everage of 21 days
each and spend $1.6 billion annually; and
WHEREAS, travel and tourism is the largest industry in the
United States and the world, the largest employer in the U.S.,
accounts for the greatest job growth in the U.S., is the leading
component of a growing service industry international trade surplus
for the U.S. (only agriculture generates a larger trade surplus), and
is an industry in which the United States dominates worldwide in
revenues and profits; and
WHEREAS, annual average federal expenditures for beach
nourishment projects over the past 44 years have been about $15
million and the gross regional product produced from beach tourism for
coastal states is estimated to be about $170 billion, indicating the
extraordinarily positive benefit/cost ratio of protecting the nation's
beaches; and
WHEREAS, prior to constructing the Delray Beach beach
nourishment project, the federal government and Palm Beach County have
executed a Project Cooperation Agreement in which the parties agreed
to share in the cost of the project and to maintain the project for
its entire 50 year economic life; and
WHEREAS, Delray Beach has successfully and in good faith
constructed its project with the expectation that the federal
obligation to participate in the project for its economic life would
be honored; and
- 2 - Res. No. 29-95
WHEREAS, eliminating federal participation in beach
nourishment, flood control and shore protection programs will remove a
talented and experienced pool of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
scientists and engineers from coastal research efforts and place a
significant additional burden on state agencies and educational
institutions to continue such research; and
WHEREAS, eliminating the federal role in projects for flood
control, hurricane and storm damage reduction, and shoreline erosion
control will at least double the cost of the projects for states and
local governments, placing an unacceptable financial burden on these
entities, and reducing the ability of state and local governments to
protect life, land, and coastal structures and infrastructures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Sec~$on 1. That the City Commission strongly urges
President Clinton and the Administration to withdraw the
recommendations in the FY 1996 budget request which would remove or
limit federal participation in water resources projects, including
beach nourishment projects, not considered to be of "national
significance", and not to introduce legislation which would provide
for such recommendations.
Section 2, That the current federal criteria for
participation and cost-sharing, which has resulted in very successful
and efficient shore protection projects, not be changed to increase
the non-federal financial responsibility for these economically vital
projects.
Section 3. That the City Commission opposes any future
legislation which may provide for elimination of federal participation
in non-national water projects or which would significantly increase
the non-federal cost of such projects, and strongly urges Florida's
U.S. Senators and Representatives to oppose any such legislation.
PASSED AND ADOPTED in regular session on this the 4th day of
April, 1995.

Dear Ms. Harty:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning federal assistance for beach renourishment.
As you may know, the President has decided not to fund beach renourishment projects in
his fiscal year 1996 budget proposal. I do not believe the President understands the importance of
these projects. The maintenance of our state's shorelines and beaches is directly related to the
Florida economy, environmental quality, and erosion control. In addition, the revenues raised
through, tourism dollars, which results from healthy beaches, more than offsets the amount
received through federal funding.
I am a strong supporter of beach renourishment projects. I have addressed the special
needs of one of South Florida's most precious resources with Bruce Babbitt, the Secretary of the
Interior. Secretary Babbitt recently toured our beaches with me to witness personally the erosion
problem. I am encouraged that this effort by the Secretary might result in stronger support for
beach renourishment from the President. You can be assured I will continue to fight to keep our
beaches properly nourished.
I appreciate knowing of your concern for this issue and encourage you to contact me in
the future about this or any other matter.
~i~ce~rely,
I RECEIVED

Dear Ms. MacGregor:
I appreciate hearing from you regarding the problems of beach
erosion in Florida.
Your concern for Florida's natural resources, especially our
beautiful beaches, is one I share. I am working hard for Florida's
environment and will continue to do so.
As your United States Senator, you can count on my commitment to
do all ! can to maintain the value of the beaches and the rest of the
delicate ecosystem of Florida. As a member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, I will work to get funding for Florida beach
renourishment. I have also introduced legislation that calls for a
ban on off-shore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Tourism is Florida's number one industry and our beautiful
beaches are one of our most important economic resources. They are
also critical components of the entire delicate Florida ecosystem.
Again, thank you for getting in touch with me about this
important issue. Knowing how you feel on key issues helps me better
represent Florida here in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
Connie Mack

Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Ct[Y CLERK
Dear Allison:
Thank you for contacting my office regarding beach renourishment.
In its fiscal year 1996 budget request, the United States Corps
of Army Engineers (Corps) proposed to phase out federal
participation in beach renourishment projects on the grounds that
such projects are a local responsibility. The Corps has
committed to continue its involvement throughout the current
phase of projects already underway, but will not propose federal
funding for new beach renourishment projects.
Beach erosion is a serious problem confronting Florida coastal
communities. However, in these times of severe fiscal
constraint, balancing the federal budget is our first priority.
As in many other programs, belt-tightening will be required of
federal support for beach renourishment.
There are two circumstances in which there should be a continuing
federal obligation:
* When local government contributions to early phases of beach
renourishment projects are made with the understanding that the
federal financial commitment will continue through the life of
the project, not just current phases. The federal commitment
should continue through the entire project.
* When beach erosion can be attributed to other federal actions.
For example, there are instances in which Corps sponsored harbor
dredging projects have resulted in erosion to adjacent beaches.
In these cases, the federal government should assume a share of
the financial responsibility for restoring damaged beaches.
I appreciate knowing of your concern on these important issues.
