S. Corps of Engineers is prepared to move ahead in the near future with Phase II of the Federal Beach Erosion Control Project which was 'authorized by House Document No. 662, 87th Congress, 1962, and which consists of the placement of 600,000 cubic yards of fill'material on the West Newport beaches and the construction of an experimental groin which will A s` be funded by Federal, State and local governments with 67% of the! funds being provided by the Federal Government; and WHEREAS, the commencement of work on Phase II of the federal project is contingent on the advancement by the State of the Federal share of the project costs, which would be accomplished by the enactment into law of Assembly Bill No. 2137; and WHEREAS, failure of the State Government to appropriate funds in the 1967 -68 fiscal year will result in a continuance of the previous inefficient piecemeal approach to erosion control which is wasteful of public funds, jeopardizes valuable improve- ments near the beaches, and imposes a severe and unnecessary hard- ship on the local governments concerned with the erosion problem; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that the Governor and the Legislature of the State of California are urged to appropriate the funds needed to carry out the pending Federal Beach Erosion Control Project by enacting Assembly Bill No. 2137.
