RESOLUTION
Resolution in support of a
60%/40% split of the Room Occupancy Tax Receipts
60% to the Beach Renourishment Fund and
40% to the Cape Fear Coast Convention & visitors Bureau
Whereas, tourism is the #1 industry in New Hanover County and
provides more year-round jobs for the county, more sales tax
collections, increased assessed valuations, capital investments and
higher ad valorem tax collections, and
Whereas, the tourism portion of the New Hanover County Room
Occupancy tax has produced a return on the local level that
surpasses other economic tools, and
Whereas, New Hanover County is ranked 9th in North Carolina for
travel expenditures and has been surpassed by counties with higher
tourism marketing budgets, and
Whereas, it is essential that continued growth in the room
occupancy tax be stimulated by additional funding to market the
whole New Hanover County travel experience more aggressively;
otherwise, we will not be able to compete effectively with other
areas bent on continuing to increase their share of the domestic
and international markets at our expense, and
Whereas, an increase in funding to tourism assures numerous non-
profit attractions such as Thalian Hall, Wilmington Railroad Museum
and st. John's Museum of Art, promotional programs, and
Whereas, in order to compete, the Cape Fear Coast Convention &
visitors Bureau needs to expand to promote and market the film
industry which has a great impact on our economy, and
Whereas, Room Occupancy tax receipts provide the funding for beach
renourishment, which is a vital need in New Hanover County and is
supported in full by the travel industry, and
Now, therefore, Be It Resolved that New Hanover County Board of Commission
,does hereby support disbursement of 60% of the room occupancy tax
to the Beach Renourishment Fund, and 40% to the Cape Fear Coast
Convention and visitors Bureau.

RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ADOPTION OF
PROPOSED STATE LEGISLATION REGARDING PUBLIC TRUST WATERS
WHEREAS, municipalities and communities in Coastal North
Carolina are subjected to stringent rules and regulations as a
result of their proximity to public trust waters; and
WHEREAS, these municipalities and communities play major roles
in supporting tourism, the State's number two industry; and
WHEREAS, the general public relies heavily on private
enterprise to provide means of boating access to the public trust
waters of our State; and
WHEREAS, proposed legislation coming before the 1995 General
Assembly poses additional burdens on commercial and private marina
and dock facilities with the implementation of easement fees for
existing and future marinas, docks, piers and other structures
located over public trust waters; and
WHEREAS, some proposals for legislation suggest that the
easement fees should additionally be placed on private docks, such
as a pier constructed at a private waterfront residence; and
WHEREAS, the passage of such legislation creating such new
fees could cause existing marinas to close, create substantial
increases in marina charges for services which will be passed on to
the general public, and prohibit the construction of new facilities
necessary to accommodate the growing needs of our State's tourism
industry and the general public, all of which would have a
detrimental effect on the tourism industry, general public, and the
strength, stability and growth of our local economy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County
Board of Commissioners does hereby oppose the adoption of such
State legislation and requests that the General Assembly carefully
consider the consequences and negative impacts such legislation
would have on both the public and private sectors of Coastal North
Carolina communities and the State's tourism industry.
Adopted this the 20th day of March, 1995.
