SUMMARY:
The Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program (PPBEP) is seeking designation as a National Estuary Program as, “Estuaries of National Significance.” As part of seeking this designation, the Governors of Florida and Alabama must make an executive request to the US EPA Administrator.
To bolster the request from the PPBEP to the Governors of both states, the PPBEP is seeking Resolutions of support from member agencies, which include Baldwin County, AL, City of Gulf Breeze, City of Milton, City of Pensacola, City of Orange Beach, AL, Escambia County, Okaloosa County, Santa Rosa County and the Town of Century.
This item provides that Resolution of support from the City of Pensacola.
This add-on item is time sensitive, as the request is set for the upcoming PPBEP Board Meeting which will take place prior to our next meeting.
