I am receiving results from the survey I posted regarding the City Council voting to approve expending $4million in Tidelands funds for a study to be conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers on the issues surrounding the breakwater.
As of 3:00pm on Monday, the day before the vote, the City Council still does not have the final report and approval from the US Army Corps to go forward on the study.
That being said, @ 64% of those responding to the survey are opposed to the City Council voting to spend $4 million in Tidelands monies on the study. I will post all of the results Tuesday morning.
P.S. A few respondents asked why the City just doesn't reconfigure the breakwater without further study? That's because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the breakwater on behalf of the federal government. And unless the Army Corps finds a federal interest in reconfiguring the breakwater, local government can't do anything.
