Regular Agenda Item 5 —Consideration of Beach Nourishment Interlocal Agreement. Commissioner Rick
Catlin and County Engineer Jim Iannucci presented the request for Board consideration to approve entering into an
interlocal agreement for beach nourishment with the towns of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach.
The interlocal agreement will provide a funding mechanism to allow the three nourishment projects to continue
receiving the maximum amount of Federal funding available while protecting the interests of the County and beach
towns in the event of funding shortfalls. The interlocal agreement is limited to one beach nourishment cycle and
would remain in place until June 30, 2015 and would automatically renew unless a party gives written notice 180
days before the expiration date; any party can withdraw with a twelve month written notice. The three beach town
councils unanimously approved the agreement.
