(a) There is established under the control and direction of the Department a Hurricane Flood Protection and Beach Erosion Control Project Revolving Fund, to consist of any moneys that may be appropriated for use through the fund by the General Assembly or that may be made available to it from any other source for the purpose of financing the local portion of the nonfederal share of the cost of hurricane flood protection and beach erosion control projects. The Department shall, when funds are available, and in accordance with priorities established by the Commission, make advances from the fund to any county or municipality for:
(1) Advance planning and engineering work necessary or desirable in order to promote the development, construction, or preservation of hurricane flood protection and beach erosion works or projects;
(2) Construction of hurricane flood protection and beach erosion control works or projects, or other related costs which are a responsibility of local government, including costs associated with construction, such as the acquisition of land or rights-of-way or the relocation of public roads and utilities;
(3) Maintenance and nourishment of the constructed works or project.
Such advances shall be subject to repayment by the recipient to the Department from the proceeds of bonds or other obligations for the beach erosion control and hurricane flood protection works or projects, or from other funds available to the recipient, including grants.
(b) Prior to making any advance to a county or municipal government the Commission shall advise the county or municipal government:
(1) Its opinion as to whether or not the projected works or project would further beach erosion control or provide protection to life or property from floodwaters resulting from hurricanes;
(2) Its opinion as to whether or not there is a reasonable prospect of federal aid in the financing of the projected works or project and whether or not the advance will exceed the local portion of the nonfederal share of the cost of the works or project to be financed by the county or municipality making the application;
(3) Its opinion as to whether or not the anticipated financial outlays in connection with the projected works or project for the county or municipality making the application would constitute an unreasonable burden on the citizens of the county or municipality.
The Commission shall authorize no advance to a county or municipal government without first receiving satisfactory assurances from such government that the projected works or project shall be undertaken and the funds advanced repaid as provided herein.
(c) Repayment of any advance may be in equal installments or in a lump sum, but the term for such repayment shall not exceed a term of 10 years. All moneys received from repayments on advances shall be paid into the revolving fund and shall be used for the purposes set forth in this section.
(d) Repealed by Session Laws 1987, c. 827, s. 185. (1971, c. 1159, s. 1; 1973, c. 1262, s. 23; 1977, c. 771, s. 4; 1987, c. 827, ss. 154, 185 .)
