A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
RELATING TO THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL CAUCUS
WHEREAS, the Southern California coastline is an economic, recreational and
biological treasure in need of effective federal support and funding; and
WHEREAS, our famed beaches contribute nearly $17 billion to the region's
tourism industry and are a major source of recreation for local residents; and
WHEREAS, these same beaches remain threatened by beach erosion and poor
water quality; and
WHEREAS, Congressional representatives from other states, most notably
Florida and New Jersey, have formed coastal caucuses within their delegations and
have therefore enjoyed tremendous success in directing federal funding to meet their
states' coastal needs; and
WHEREAS, these coastal caucuses have enabled New Jersey alone to receive
$111 million in federal funds for shoreline protection from 1995 to 1999 while California
received only $10 million for such purposes; and
WHEREAS, the formation of a Southern California Coastal Caucus within
Congress has been urged by the California Coastal Coalition, the Orange County
Coastal Coalition, and the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project; now,
therefore be it
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that it hereby
supports and advocates for the formation of a Southern California Coastal Caucus
within California's congressional delegation; and be it further
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that it hereby
directs that this Resolution be forwarded to the offices of Representatives Christopher
Cox and Dana Rohrabacher and US Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.
ADOPTED this 8th day of May, 2001.
