B. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida reaffirming its
position on the prohibition of offshore drilling and supporting federal
legislation that would establish an Act prohibiting offshore drilling on the
outer continental shelf off the State of Florida. SUMMARY: In January of
2018, the Trump Administration put forth a proposal that would allow new
offshore oil and gas drilling in nearly all United States coastal waters.
This proposal could threaten Palm Beach County’s coastline, canals, inlets,
artificial reefs, and other major estuarine and freshwater enhancements projects.
Palm Beach County also has a multi-billion dollar tourism industry that would be threatened by any future oil spills due to our
extreme proximity to the Gulf Stream currents. It is the intention of
this resolution to support federal legislation that will establish an Act
prohibiting offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf off the State of
Florida. Countywide (DW)
