The Rotary Club of Key West Fireworks Needs Your Donations
Dear Neighbors:
Since 1976 The Rotary Club of Key West has sponsored the Key West 4th of July Fireworks display. We receive no city funding and rely on community support to raise the $30,000 it costs for this production. We would appreciate any donations you can provide.
Please join us at the White Street Pier to view the fireworks for free. There are different levels of donations from $50 to $5000. Every single dollar raised goes directly to this cause.
You can download the donation form by clicking on:

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS
In an effort to provide for a better flow of traffic surrounding the cemetery, and a more safe traffic pattern at the intersection of Frances and Angela Streets, the City has decided to reverse the one way direction of Angela Street. Effective Monday, June 14, 2010, Angela Street from Frances Street to Margaret Street will become one way traveling to the west. Olivia Street will remain unchanged and will continue one way going east.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 809-3951. Thank you for your patience in this adjustment period that will follow.

Effort Mounted to Save Wisteria Island
Time is urgent. We need to have at least some of the June meetings moved to Key West. As a practical matter, the die may be cast in these actions this month.

Key West Parking Ordinance Changes to Address Waste Issues
Our January 18th meeting considered a draft ordinance that would prohibit storing and disposing of "any manner of waste" in a vehicle on the public right of way "unless such vehicle is being actively loaded for immediate hauling." Fifty-eight residents signed a petition supporting it, and it was sponsored by Commissioner Jimmy Weekley. City Attorney Shawn Smith retained the key provision, divided the ordinance in two -- one for waste and one for parking -- and provided fair and effective penalties that will encourage compliance and facilitate enforcement.
On June 1st the City Commission by a vote of 7 to 0 enacted the ordinances. The ordinances became enforceable when the City Clerk posted their enacted versions at http://www.keywestcity.com/egov/docs/1275497487_304412.pdf
and at

Any neighbor who observes a violation of these ordinances may report it to Code Compliance, either at 809-3740 or through the Citizen Request Action Line (which is anonymous if you wish): http://mygovhelp.com/keywestfl/_cs/RequestSelect.aspx
