Points for Legislative Delegation <br />• The Inlet District pre -dates the State Park over 50 years. The District built and <br />maintained the jetties for almost 100 years. <br />• The jetties are not within the Park boundary. DEP acknowledges this. <br />+ Funding for the north jetty was funneled through the Division of Parks in 2000. This <br />legislation will clear up confusion on responsibility for the jetties. <br />• State Park lost enforcement capability in 2012. They can no longer provide security. <br />• The Park has not been interested in a concession on the jetty or hiring security. <br />Legislation will allow us to work together to provide security solutions. <br />• Primary purpose of jetties is stabilizing inlet for safe navigation. Secondary purpose is <br />fishing, bird watching, sightseeing, nature, etc. The District wants to maintain those uses <br />but reserve the right to reconfigure jetties if necessary. Will coordinate with DEP. <br />• DEP does not want to budget for replacing or repairing jetties. The District has that <br />mechanism in place. <br />• Population growth and popularity of Sebastian Inlet has exploded in last five years. <br />Security presence is critical. <br />151 <br />
