RE: Request for Boating Improvement Funds to cover the cost of repairs to Key West
Mooring field
Dear Mr. Jones:
The City of Key West is requesting reimbursement from the Monroe County Boating
Improvement fund for expenditures and work already completed associated with repair
and upkeep of Key West Mooring field. The funding will help cover expenses incurred
during the fiscal year 2010/2011. The amount needed for reimbursement is $31,852.02.
The Key West Mooring field is comprised of 149 mooring systems used by the general
public. The Mooring field is used by locals and visitors alike to safely moor their vessels
without the need of conventional anchoring which helps protect our nearshore natural
resources.
Respectively,
David Hawthorne
City of Key West
City Marina Supervisor
