WHEREAS, under the provisions of Chapter 161, Florida
Statutes, the Florida Department of Natural Resources, Division
of Beaches and Shores, has recommended, and the Governor and
Cabinet have approved, state funding for Fiscal Year 1992-1993 in
the amount of $1,568,000.00 for the Smathers Beach Reconstruction
Project; and
WHEREAS, erosion of Smathers Beach has been evaluated as
critical by the Florida Department of Natural Resources; and
WHEREAS, a viable beach complex is essential for Key West

other Caribbean islands (particularly with the probable emergence
of a free Cuba as a major competitor only 90 miles away); and
WHEREAS, the Smathers Beach Reconstruction Project has been
consistently recognized by both the Board of County Commissioners
and the Key West City Commission as being in the best interest of
the citizens, economy and environment of this City and County;
