AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida,
reconfirming our commitment to protecting Florida from offshore drilling and exploration.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
During the recent 2009 legislative session, the Florida House of Representatives passed a bill to allow
Florida to consider opening its waters to off shore energy exploration. The bill will allow the Governor
and Cabinet to receive, review, and then accept or reject in the Cabinet's sole discretion, proposals for
exploration and production of oil and natural gas in Florida's state water.
It is possible that a bill allowing drilling near Florida's coast will be introduced next year. In light of the
explosion and spill at Deepwater Horizon, the Keys' interest in protecting our marine environment
should be reconfirmed.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO PROTECT FLORIDA
FROM OFFSHORE DRILLING AND EXPLORATION;
AND DIRECTING THE CLERK TO FORWARD SAID
RESOLUTION TO THE GOVERNOR, SENATE
PRESIDENT, HOUSE SPEAKER, AND THE MONROE
COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.
WHEREAS, Florida's coral reefs, mangroves, sea grasses, beaches, fisheries,
endangered species, tourism and quality of life depend upon clean ocean waters; the impacts of
drilling muds and spills caused by offshore oil development can be carried by great distances by
the Gulf Loop Current onto Florida's coasts; routine drilling mud releases thousands of pounds
of toxic chemicals into the environment, harm fish, corals and marine mammals, and place
Florida at risk of a large or catastrophic spill; and
WHEREAS, it has become very clear that oil spills and environmental and economic
disasters do occur as evidenced by the disastrous spill from the April 20, 2010 burning, collapse
and sinking ofthe Deepwater Horizon oil rig as well as the leak from a rig off the coast of
Australia in November 2009 and the tanker leak on the Great Barrier Reef on April 5, 2010; and
WHEREAS, there currently is no effective method of preventing or arresting a
deepwater leak; and
WHEREAS, since 2001, and according to the Federal Minerals Management Service,
there have been 69 offshore deaths, 1,349 injuries and 858 fires and explosions in the Gulf of
Mexico alone; and
WHEREAS, historically considered and managed as isolated environments, recent
discoveries have documented important biological linkages between these underwater
communities that are maintained by the clockwise motion of the Yucatan Loop and Florida
currents; individual reef and banks, some of which are connected by bathymetric ridges and
scarps, provide a nearly-continuous corridor from Belize and Mexico, then into the Gulf itself;
even though separated by large expanses of ocean water, the fishes, corals, and invertebrates
common to these reefs and banks demonstrate that the health and vitality of resources
downstream are linked closely to those located upstream, and they are dependent on one
another for the continued biological recruitment and replenishment of the biota; and
WHEREAS, Floridians and especially residents of the Florida Keys have been unified
in their opposition to offshore oil drilling and exploration for many years; and
WHEREAS, the area south of26 degrees North Latitude, approximately where Marco
Island, Florida, lies, and all waters outside of Lease Sale 181, are under a Congressional
moratorium for oil and natural gas exploration and development, thanks to years of past efforts;
and
WHEREAS, the effort to open Florida up to oil drilling began with the Interior
Department removing Florida's jurisdiction and giving Louisiana authority over Lease Sale
181, via publication ofa revised "Seaward Boundary Lines Extension" in the Federal Register
in January of2006, that occurred without public review or comment; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Interior Department's Five Year Plan for Oil and Gas
Development and Exploration undermines current protections for Florida's coral reefs; and
WHEREAS, the Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water
along the Atlantic coastline and the eastern Gulf of Mexico to oil and natural gas drilling, much
of it for the first time; and
WHEREAS, Florida Senators Mel Martinez (R) and Bill Nelson (D) worked diligently
to make permanent the drilling moratorium in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, including most of
Lease Sale 181, to keep drilling as far as 260 miles off Florida's west coast and 150 miles off
the Panhandle and the east coast; and
WHEREAS, the eastern Gulf is a military training zone and in which drilling should be
banned as well as a buffer alongside it for at least five years; and
WHEREAS, as more threats to bring oil drilling closer to Florida's shores emerge in
Washington; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners previously passed
Resolutions #223-2008 and #139-2006 supporting efforts to protect Florida from offshore
drilling and exploration and Resolutions #178-1988 and #203-1987 expressing opposition to
any offshore drilling in and about the Florida Keys; and
WHEREAS, the Florida House of Representatives passed a bill during the 2009
legislative session which would have allowed the Governor and Cabinet, in their sole discretion
sitting as the Trustees ofthe Internal Improvement Trust Fund, to receive, review and accept or
reject proposals for exploration and production of oil and natural gas in Florida's state waters;
and
WHEREAS, it is a matter of grave concern that the efforts to allow drilling off
Florida's coasts may be raised once again at the State legislature during the 2011 legislative
session;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
1. We support the strongest possible protection for Florida and other fragile marine
environments from the impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration and development, including
additional efforts to expand exclusionary zones, extension of Presidential and Congressional
moratoria, and defeat of legislation to open up our coast to offshore oil
2. We encourage the Interior Department Minerals Management Service, our Florida
Delegation, and Florida Governor Charlie Crist to work in support of these goals.
2
3. We oppose oil drilling near Florida; we oppose any new offshore oil and gas leasing,
exploration, drilling activity and seismic inventories affecting Florida's coast and support new
Congressional moratoria against offshore oil drilling near Florida and other fragile coastal
areas; and we encourage extension of the Presidential Executive Order that bans leasing off
Florida's east and west coasts from 2012 to 2020.
4. We support a permanent cancellation of the 90+ existing and active leases, some as close as
11 miles from our coast, compensating the holders ofthose leases through rents due and royalty
forgiveness for other current drilling activity, and canceling any activity in Lease Sale 181 and
establishment ofa 150 mile buffer zone against drilling on Florida's east coast.

Australia Rushes to Contain Barrier Reef Oil Spill
About 2 tons of oil have already spilled out into this fragile ecosystem.
Mon Apr 5,2010 12:39 PM ET I content provided by Rob Griffith, Associated Press
THE GIST:
· A Chinese-registered coal ship ran aground on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
· Workers are rushing to stabilize the ship to prevent it from breaking apart.
· About 1,000 tons of fuel were on board the vessel at the time of the crash.
Workers rushed to contain an oil spill Monday from a coal-carrying ship grounded on
Australia's Great Barrier Reef, sending two tugboats to stabilize the vessel so that it would
not break apart and further damage the fragile coral beneath.
The Chinese-registered Shen Neng 1 rammed into Douglas Shoals late Saturday, an area
that has shipping restrictions in order to protect what is the world's largest coral reef and
one that is listed as a World Heritage site because of its gleaming waters and
environmental value as home to thousands of marine species.
About 2 tons (metric tons) of oil have already spilled from the 1,000 tons (950 metric tons)
of fuel on board, creating a 1 DO-yard (meter) slick that stretches 2 miles (3 kilometers),
Marine Safety Queensland said in a statement.
Queensland State Premier Anna Bligh said a boom will be put around the ship by Tuesday
to contain oil leaking from the hull. Aircraft sprayed chemical dispersants in an effort to
break up the slick Sunday.

"Our No. 1 priority is keeping this oil off the Barrier
Reef and keeping it contained," she told reporters in Brisbane.
Bligh said a salvage team had reached the ship Monday and were attempting to stabilize it.
"It's in such a delicate part of the reef and the ship is in such a badly damaged state,
managing this process will require all the specialist expertise we can bring to bear," she
told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. She said it could take weeks to dislodge the ship.

The ship's owner, Shenzhen Energy, a subsidiary of the Cosco Group that is China's
largest shipping operator, could be fined up to 1 million Australian dollars ($920,000) for
straying from a shipping lane used by 6,000 cargo vessels each year, Bligh said.
"This is a very delicate part of one of the most precious marine environments on earth and
there are safe authorized shipping channels -- and that's where this ship should have
been," Bligh said.
Authorities fear the ship will break apart during the salvage operation and wreck more
coral, or spill more of its heavy fuel oil into the sun-soaked sea. However, Bligh said the
risk of the ship breaking apart appeared to have lessened since the first of two tug boats
arrived and reduced its movement.
Two tugs arrived Monday to stabilize the ship, Marine Safety Queensland said.
"One of the most worrying aspects is that the ship is still moving on the reef to the action of
the seas, which is doing further damage" to the coral and hull, according to the agency's
general manager, Patrick Quirk. Initial damage reports showed flooding in the main engine
room and damage to the main engine and the rudder.
A police boat was standing by to evacuate the 23 crew members if the ship breaks apart.
The bulk carrier was taking about 72,000 tons (65,000 metric tons) of coal to China from
the Queensland port of Gladstone when it slammed into the shoals off Queensland's coast
in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Numerous conservation groups have expressed outrage that bulk carriers can travel
through the reef without a specialized marine pilot. Shipping lanes in Australian waters
typically require a seasoned captain to go aboard an incoming ship to help navigate around
hazards. Until now, the government has said there is no need for a marine pilots around
the protected area because large ships are banned there.
Maritime law specialist Michael White of the University of Queensland said oil is the major
environmental threat posed by the grounding. While coal could do "considerable localized
damage," it would be quick to dissipate.
Marine geologist Greg Webb from the Queensland University of Technology said the
effects of an oil and coal spill could have unknown consequences.
"In the past we always just thought a reef could put up with anything," he told ABC radio.
"And I guess over the last decade or so, we're beginning to understand that maybe they
can't."

August 21,2009, a well on the Montara
offshore oil platform blew out as a new well
was being drilled on the platform by the West
Atlas mobile drilling rig. The rig and platform
were immediately evacuated as oil, natural
gas, and natural gas condensate spewed
into the ocean from the uncontrolled well.
This spill is expected to continue for at least
7 to 8 weeks, the time it will take to bring
another rig into the area and drill a "relief
well" that intercepts the damaged well
several thousand feet below the seafloor.

Tallahassee, FL 32301
Dear Mr. Smith:
As you may be aware, during the last legislative session the Florida House of Representatives passed
a bill to allow Florida to consider opening its waters to off shore energy exploration. In short, the bill
would have allowed the Governor and Cabinet (sitting as the Trustees of the Internal Improvement
Trust Fund) to receive, review, and then accept or reject in the Cabinet's sole discretion, proposals for
exploration and production of oil and natural gas in Florida's state waters. The discussion of this issue
is ongoing and legislation on this issue will again be proposed at the next Session.
I am writing to you and your organization because I know you may have opinions about this idea, and
I would appreciate your constructive input on how it may be improved. Some of your opinions for
modifying the proposal may be specific (e.g., requiring certain distances from shore for specific
activities, specifying types of equipment to be used, establishing environmental protection
methodologies or protocols, etc.), while others may be more general. I also would like your
suggestions regarding where potential revenues from energy production in Florida should be directed.
It is our intention for this to be an inclusive process and to examine all options and gather input from
any individuals or groups interested in participating in the debate. While I have been clear in my
support for lifting the ban on exploration, I am also very interested to know your ideas, thoughts,
questions and concerns about this very important issue.
I would appreciate your reply and input as soon as possible and preferably by the first week in
September. Please feel free to contact me or my staff director if you have any questions regarding
this letter and its purpose. We than!<: 'j0'_' fC'r ~,,:,._'r ':'~~:-;~:---.,-- :-._:1'_ b" L:.. .0' ': J: -. J

RESOLUTION NO. 139 - 2006
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNlY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNlY, FLORIDA,
SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO PROTECT FLORIDA FROM
OFFSHORE DRILLING AND EXPLORATION
WHEREAS, Florida's coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, beaches, fisheries, endangered
species, tourism and quality oflife depend upon clean ocean waters; the impacts of drilling muds
and spills caused by offshore oil development can be carried by great distances by the Gulf Loop
Current onto Florida's coasts; routine drilling muds release thousands of pounds of toxic
chemicals into the environment, harm fish, corals and marine mammals, and place Florida at risk
of a large or catastrophic spill; and
WHEREAS, Floridians and especially residents of the Florida Keys have been unified in
their opposition to offshore oil drilling and exploration for many years; and
WHEREAS, the area south of 26 degrees North Latitude, approximately where Marco
Island, Florida, lies, and all waters outside of Lease Sale 181, are under a Congressional
moratorium for oil and natural gas exploration and development, thanks to years of past efforts;
and
WHEREAS, the Congressional and a Presidential moratoria on offshore oil are now up
for review, at a time when our coral reefs are endangered and need more, not less, protection to
survive. The White House agreement with the state of Florida that currently protects most of
Lease Sale 181, a hotly contested area in the Gulf, expires next year; and
WHEREAS, the effort to open Florida up to oil drilling began with the Interior
Department removing Florida's jurisdiction and giving Louisiana authority over Lease Sale 181,
via publication of a revised "Seaward Boundary Lines Extension" in the Federal Register in
January of 2006, that occurred without public review or comment; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Interior Department released a new Five Year Plan for Oil and
Gas Development and Exploration that undermines current protections for Florida's coral reefs;
the current program runs through June 30, 2007, and the next Five Year Plan would put a 4
million + acre area on the auction block and proposes to rapidly make the west coast of Florida
the most intensively-leased region of all currently-protected Outer Continental Shelf waters
nationwide, also opening up the coast of Virginia and Alaska's fishery-rich Bristol Bay; and
WHEREAS, public comments on the proposed Five Year Plan can be submitted to the
Minerals Management Service until April, 2006; and
WHEREAS, efforts are underway in Congress to fast track removal of its moratoria and
the president could rescind his father's executive withdrawals that currently protect Florida from
offshore oil; the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee filed a bill
that would authorize oil drilling in an area 100 miles south of the Florida Panhandle; Chairman
Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) says he has the votes to open the Lease Sale 181 area in the Gulf of
Mexico to oil and natural gas drilling; the first hearing is set for February 16th; the bill requires
the Interior Department to begin offering leases in the "bulge" portion of the Lease Sale 181 area
off the Florida coast within one year; and
WHEREAS, Florida Senators Mel Martinez (R) and Bill Nelson (D) have filed a bill
which makes permanent the drilling moratorium in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, including most of
Lease Sale 181; the Permanent Protection for Florida Act, numbered Senate Bill #2239, would
keep drilling as far as 260 miles off Florida's west coast and 150 miles off the Panhandle and the
east coast; the eastern Gulf is a military training zone and helps protect that zone by banning
drilling within it and setting up a buffer alongside it for at least five years, but the measure would
not prevent development on roughly 700,000 acres in the area's southwest portion; and
WHEREAS, as more threats to bring oil drilling closer to Florida's shores emerge in
Washington, Florida Govenor Jeb Bush's role is becoming increasingly pivotal; he can help craft
a remedy acceptable to Florida's delegation and Congress as a whole; after years of being unified
against drilling, Florida's congressional members seem more divided and indecisive on the issue
than ever; the Governor supports the Nelson Martinez bill;
NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
1. We support the strongest possible protection for Florida and other fragile marine
environments from the impacts of offshore oil and gas exploration and development,
including additional efforts to expand exclusionary zones, extension of Presidential and
Congressional moratoria, and defeat of legislation to open up our coast to offshore oil.
We encourage the Interior Department Minerals Management Service, our Florida
Congressmen and Florida Governor Jeb Bush to work in support of these goals. We
support the Permanent Protection for Florida Act, numbered Senate Bill #2239 filed by
Florida Senators Martinez and Nelson.
2. We oppose the Department of the Interior's new 5 Year Plan and the legislation filed by
Senator Pete Domenici to allow oil drilling near Florida. We oppose any new offshore
oil and gas leasing, exploration, drilling activity and seismic inventories affecting
Florida's coast and support new Congressional moratoria against offshore oil drilling
near Florida and other fragile coastal areas. We encourage extension of the Presidential
Executive Order that bans leasing off America's east and west coasts and parts of Alaska
from 2012 to 2020.
3. We support a permanent cancellation of the 90+ existing and active leases, some as
close as 11 miles from our coast. Compensate the holders of those leases through rents
due and royalty forgiveness for other current drilling activity. We support canceling any
activity in Lease Sale 181 and establishment of a 150 mile buffer zone against drilling on
Florida's east coast.
4. A copy ofthis resolution shall be sent to:

St. Petersburg Times: Gov. Crist will call special session on oil drilling

Gov. Crist vvill call special session on oil drilling
By Steve Bousquet and Mary Ellen Klas, Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau
TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Charlie Crist's announcement Tuesday that he would call a special legislative
session this month to ask voters to ban oil drilling off Florida's coast and revive renewable energy legislation
immediately sparked an angry clash between the independent Crist and his former Republican colleagues.
Crist said that because of the Gulf oil disaster, "it's appropriate for the people of Florida" to have a chance to
vote on a constitutional amendment to ban oil drilling in Florida waters - between the beach and 10.6 miles
offshore. He also wants to use the session to revive incentives for renewable energy legislation.
"I want to talk about wind, nuclear, solar, natural gas and other alternative means to provide energy to our
people," Crist said, adding that he wasn't sure if he or legislative leaders would formally call the session.
But the governor's suggestion of bringing lawmakers back to Tallahassee the week of May 24 without a
consensus on the energy issues sparked harsh rebukes from House and Senate leaders.
House Speaker Larry Cretul, an Ocala Republican, blasted Crist's call for a special session as "a political
ploy to promote the future of politicians." In a statement from his office, Cretul said state leaders and
resources should focus on "solving the real problem at hand, not fighting political campaigns at taxpayers'
expense."
Rep. Dean Cannon, a Winter Park Republican and incoming House speaker who had been the Legislature's
strongest advocate for opening Florida waters to oil drilling, agreed that a special session was unnecessary
because of a federal ban that now bans oil drilling 125 miles off state beaches.
"State and federal law already prohibits oil drilling off of Florida's shores and lifting the ban will be off the
table while I am speaker, so a special session to address it is unwarranted," Cannon said in a statement.
Senate President Jeff Atwater, who single-handedly blocked Cannon's pro-drilling bill from being taken up in
the Senate in the just-ended regular session, raised questions about the renewable energy legislation,
saying it could result in higher utility costs. He called on Crist to offer a renewable energy bill that would
have "minimal impact on Florida's rate-paying citizens."
"Before we enter a special session," Atwater said, "we must find common ground" with the governor and
House.
Legislative leaders had pushed for a renewable energy bill backed by Crist that would have allowed Florida's
largest electric companies to raise the average customer bills $1 a month to pay for the construction of new
solar-powered electric plants. But the measure died in the Senate on the last day of the session amid
concerns that it allowed the utility companies to charge higher rates without proving they were using the
lowest costs for the new technology.

St. Petersburg Times: Gov. Crist will call special session on oil drilling
Page 2 of2
Clean energy advocates say the Gulf oil disaster has increased the need for the state to promote
alternatives to fossil fuels and challenge the critics who claim it will cost more money than traditional fuels.
"It is critical we take an honest look at the power of energy generation in Florida," said Susan Glickman of
the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. "In many cases, clean renewable energy is comparable in cost to
traditional fossil fuels but, if you added the costs of the oil spill, respiratory diseases caused by pollution, the
cost of greenhouse gas emissions and the sea level rise, the real costs are countless."
She said that if legislators were honest about the debate, they would set fuel standards that require all
automobile fuel in Florida to use some low-carbon fuels and require power companies to use renewable
energy sources.
Whether Crist can build consensus on any of these issues amid the new political dynamics in Florida's
capital is still unknown. Since he first angered lawmakers by vetoing a teacher merit pay bill supported by
most GOP lawmakers, and then severed ties with the Republican Party and announced he would seek
election to the U.S. Senate without party affiliation, the relationship between the governor and Republican
legislative leaders has become bitter and divisive.
Crist can issue a proclamation calling the Legislature into special session but, once convened, they don't
have to pass anything. They could even call themselves back into session and send Crist more Republican-
backed legislation that he would oppose as he attempts to appeal to the state's moderate and independent
voters.
The politics of offshore drilling were on full display Tuesday at a Cabinet meeting. The two Cabinet members
who hope to succeed Crist in the governor's office echoed Crist's call for a special session to consider a ban
on offshore drilling.
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, a Democrat, thanked him "for wanting to let the voters of Florida have their
say."
McCollum, a Republican, noted he has been "opposed to it (drilling) all along" but said the proposed
amendment needed to be "very carefully-worded" so it did not restrict "new scientific options that may come
along."
Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Bronson, a term-limited Republican, was the lone voice opposing a
referendum to ban drilling off Florida's coast, citing 40 years of accident-free drilling in the Gulf. "I think we
ought to know all of the facts before we overreact," Bronson said. "I see this as one incident."

BY TIMOTHY O'HARA Citizen Staff

A group of elected officials on Thursday asked Gov. Charlie Crist to reconvene a special
session of the Legislature to vote on a constitutional amendment that would ban oil drilling
in state waters.
Crist said he is open to the idea and considering his options, according to a Palm Beach
Post blog.
"I have seen the BP oil spill up close, spreading for miles," Chief Financial Officer Alex
Sink, among the lobbying contingent, said in a prepared statement. "This evidence proves
that near-beach drilling in Florida is a disastrous idea -- we must never let oil companies
drill just three miles off our beaches."
Sink said oil companies last year spent millions on lobbyists and "a PR spin machine" that
quickly got near-beach drilling passed through the Florida House. It died in the Senate,
and talk of reviving the bill next year was hushed after the Louisiana oil spill.
"The people of Florida must send legislators a message that we will not allow Florida's
economy to be put at risk or forget the painful lessons of this historic spill," Sink said.
Florida Keys Rep. Ron Saunders is not in the contingent, but has been fighting recent
efforts to expand drilling closer to Florida's coast. He said he had not seen the proposal,
but was familiar with it and supports it.
"In light of recent events, maybe a constitutional amendment is needed," he said. "We are
clearly seeing the impacts to Florida from an oil rig that was 1 00 miles away. Can you
imagine the impacts within three miles?"
A constitutional amendment would require a voter referendum, which could be held in
November.
"Maybe an extra layer of protection, in the form of a voter referendum, is necessary,"
Saunders said, adding that some legislators are still lobbying for drilling.
Supporters claim the technology is safe and drilling would bring jobs and money to
Florida. The defunct House bill would have required gas companies to pay a $1 million
nonrefundable deposit to request state approval, which would come from the governor

Drill ban lobbying heats up

and Cabinet.
Opponents contend the money generated would pale in comparison to tourism revenue
that would be lost in a disaster. Florida beaches, coral reefs and coastal waters generate
$562 billion a year, according to the Florida Oceans and Coastal Council.
"This way it will not be about who has the best lobbyist or who is donating the most
money," Saunders said of the referendum. "The public can decide whether they support
this or not."
Key West-based Reef Reliefs program director, Millard McCleary, called the referendum
"a step in the right direction to protect and preserve Florida's pristine beaches and coastal
ecosystems."
"Allowing the citizens of Florida to vote their opinion on oil and gas drilling will help to end
much of the influence the oil and gas industry lobby has had in recent years," McCleary
said. "Reef Relief encourages Gov. Crist to call this session and advocate for the
amendment's passage. If and when it does, it will be very important we precisely educate
the public of the danger and harms of drilling near our coast."
The proposal comes as 210,000 gallons of oil are being pumped daily into the northern
Gulf of Mexico. Scientists disagree, but some say the crude could get caught in the Loop
Current, which could send it to the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas.
The legislative contingent that lobbied Crist included Sen. Dan Gelber, D-Miami Beach,
and Reps. Keith Fitzgerald, D-Sarasota, and Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg.

Subject: f0N Dog Park
Dear Commissioner DeGenarro,
I am writing this note for my friend, Ray Prieto. Ray was born with a congenital ailment that now allows
him to motivate by electric wheel chair only. Ray is a dog lover and his dog's name is Chobee. Chobee is a sweet
little cocker who would love to be able to enjoy our wonderful dog park with Ray. Unfortunately when the park
was built it was with one step that is about 8" high at the entrance and his wheel chair cannot get up that one
step. Could you please see that the dog park is made wheel chair accessible so that Ray and all the other
handicapped dog lovers of Key West can enjoy the park too?? Thank you, in advance for your help. I will be
sending you photos of Ray & Chobee at this step later today or tomorrow morning and Ray asks me to let you
know that he and Chobee are looking forward to meeting you so they can thank you in person.
