The good news is that he identified beach preservation as one of his "highlighted" and favored programs. He asks the Legislature to appropriate $5.? million for "beach planning, protection and renourishment." It breaks down this way: * $2 million for inlet sand transfer and inlet management planning * $3.7 million for beach restoration and renourishmunt The very fact that the Governor wants to fund beach planning and construction programs is good news. I~ didn't start out that way. ,~In fact, our first indication was that the Governor's budget office might ax all beach project mondy as part of their aggressive cost-cutting effort. However, FSBPA's lobbyist stepped in and persuaded the budget staff that beach funding should be a high priority for Governor Chiles. They agreed. And we won a big tactical victory. WHA~ DOES IT ALL MEAN? A MUCH MORE DIFFICULT LOBBYING JOB FOR FSBPA ~he not-so-good news is that proposed funding is way down from last year. The 1990 Legislature appropriated $16 million for beach projects. That's $10 million more than Governor Chiles proposes for the coming year. Despite the proposed reduction in beach spending, we will enter the 1991 legislative session with a big leg up, The Governor has identified beaches as one of his favored programs, one that deserves share of the state funding pie. That gives us an opening advantage with the Legislature which traditionally begins its budget deliberations with the Governor's budget as [ts starting point. ~here is a chance that the Legislature can be persuaded to add on to the Governor's proposal, especially when it comes to beach nourishment projects that rank high on DNR's priority list. But it won't be easy. We are facing the tightest state budget squeeze in modern history. It will take a monumental lobbying program on the part of FBBPA to get more money for beaches than Governor- Chiles' $5.7 million recommendation. DIVISION OF BEACHES AND SHORES COMES OUT A WlMNER Governor Chiles went out of his way to be nice to the Division of Beaches and Shores. Be demonstrated this several ways: While cutting thousands of job positions throughout state government, Chiles spared two new and as yet unfilled positions in the beach management program. He also spared the Division from themundatory 5% cutback in operations that virtually every other agency in state government must make. While the beach program was cleurly favored, the Governor recommended some hard licks against the Department of Natural Resources as a whole. Be wants to lop 130 of DNR's 2,588 current staff. Where he bore down the hardest -- as promised -- was in DRR's bureaucracy. The office of Executive Director and its Division of Administrative Services currently has 198 employees. Chiles proposes to cut them to 53. Positions lost would include lawyers, planners, policy-makers and personnel staff. HOWI~d~ OF A LOBBYINg ~EN6E ~ WE FACE IN THE 1991 ~6I$~?URE?
