RESOLUTION OF THE NEW HANVOER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WHEREAS, the United States Coast Guard plans to remove entire buoy systems from four dangerously shoaled inlets along the North Carolina Coast including Carolina Beach Inlet; and
WHEREAS, there is no dredging of the Carolina Beach Inlet scheduled this fiscal year and the proposed budget of the U. S. Corps of Engineers for fiscal year 2005-2006 does not currently include funding for this maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the inlet is widely used by recreational boaters, commercial fishermen and charter boats; and
WHEREAS, if the inlet is allowed to close, public safety will be significantly reduced due to increased boating hazards and due to increased emergency response times; and
WHEREAS, tourism revenues in Carolina and Kure Beaches would be impacted negatively, as would many small businesses in the area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners urges Congress to restore full funding for shallow inlet maintenance in the U. S. Corps of Engineers’ budget for fiscal year 2005-2006.
Adopted this the 7th day of February, 2005.
