A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE
CANAVERAL, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA,
SUPPORTING HOUSE BILL 313 AND SENATE BILL
732 — CLEAN OCEAN ACT
WHEREAS, At this present time gambling boats use our Ports, pickup our
citizens, make their money, and discharge their waste in the ocean off our
shoreline; and
WHEREAS, Daily - gambling boats have the capacity to hold their waste
water but lack the incentive to hold and pump out at shore facilities, which
increases the pollution of our water and shores; and
WHEREAS, This act would require that daily- gambling boats submit
minimal contact information necessary to hold them accountable; and
WHEREAS, Florida would join other States in requiring these day boats to
hold and release at port facilities their grey and black water, and set standard
fines for releasing waste off shore; and
WHEREAS, HB 313 and SB 732 provides for emergency situations to be
able to release matter with a requirement to notify authorities for documentation
purposes; and
WHEREAS, H B 313 and SB 732 allows Port Authorities the flexibility to
implement collection of said waste water and dispose at port facilities for fee
equal to the cost of waste removal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City of cape Canaveral,
Florida
