A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH IN APPRECIATION TO OUR LEGISLATIVE
REPRESENT A T1VES IN SACRAMENTO, THE
DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS AND
THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
I
WHEREAS, our California beaches are a treasured natural resource, cherished by all
who have the opportunity to enjoy their beauty; and
WHEREAS, the health of many of our beaches is threatened, including Seal Beach's
East Beach, due to the urbanization of the coastal zones and construction
of man-made jetties and breakwaters which permanently block natural
replenishment processes; and
WHEREAS, our California representatives in Sacramento, the Department of Boating
and Waterways and Governor Pete Wilson recognized Seal Beach's
efforts to encounter on-going beach erosion to safeguard our public beach
facilities as well as beachfront residences from the ravages of winter storm
flooding and high tides; and
WHEREAS, under the Department of Boating and Waterways Beach and Erosion
Program, $815,000 of grant funds were provided to Seal Beach towards
the effort to correct existing shoreline erosion; and
WHEREAS, without state assistance, there surely would have been property damages
due to El Nino, well in excess of the monies spent for sand replenishment;
and
I
WHEREAS, with the imported sand made available by the grant and local matching
funds, the City was able to restore the beach in time to prevent any
damage to private property and only minimal damage to public facilities;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal
Beach acknowledges the support given by our state legislators, the Department of
Boating and Waterways and Governor Wilson for demonstrating their wisdom in
providing grant monies for sand replenishment in a prudent cost-benefits methodology,
which ultimately will save the State as well as the City, in terms of property damage,
preservation of property tax and recreational values.
