A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM, PALM BEACH
COUNTY, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE TOWN OF OCEAN RIDGE
IN ITS EFFORTS AT BEACH RESTORATION.
WHEREAS, the Town Commission of the Town of Gulf Stream, is aware
of the concerted efforts of the Town Commission of the Town of Ocean Ridge
toward beach restoration; and
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Town Commission of the
Town of Gulf Stream that the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation
has tentatively denied a permit to Palm Beach County to restore the beaches
through offshore dredging but has tentatively granted a permit for an alter-
native method involving "improvements" to mechanical sand transfer operations
at the South Lake Worth Inlet; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Gulf Stream supports offshore dredging as the most
effective method of beach restoration and opposes "improvements' to the sand
transfer plant which will not improve beach restoration for the beaches south
of the South Lake Worth Inlet;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF
GULF STREAM, FLORIDA,
Section 1. That the Town Commission of the Town of Gulf Stream, hereby
supports the Town of Ocean Ridge in its efforts at beach restoration and
supports said Town in its activities relating to same.

Palm Beach County Commission, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation,
members of the local legislative delegation and any other entity requesting same.
