PLEASE SIGN and | MAIL IMMEDIATELY to P.O. BOX: 482, Key West, for presentation to the City Commission, HON. WM. W. DEMERITT, Mayor, and CITY COMMISSIONERS: WE. THE UNDERSIGNED, believe that the turmoil that has recently beset our Municipal government, culminating in the resig- nation of Mr. Dave King as City Manager, is due to the following: 1, That the members of the City Civil Service Board, as a ma- jority. should not be directly or indirectly associated or affiliated in | the same business, or occupational capacity with any member of the City Commission, That the membership on: said Board should be| more representative of the citizenry as a whole. That resignations be requested of said Board in order to affect this desirable change. 2. That a schedule of disciplinary offenses and penalties, includ- ing that of discharge by the City Manager or Head of Departments, for adequate cause, be formulated by the Civil Service Board, and epproved by the Commission and accepted as law. in order to elim- imate future conflicts between the Civil Service Board, the City | Manager, or Heads of Departments. This is now generally outlined im the posted rules and regulations of the Civil Service Board. We further desire to express our confidence in Mr. Dave King. #xd believe that he has and would continue to administer the affairs of the office of City Manager for the best interest and general wel- fare of the citizens of Key West, Florida. We request that Mr. Dave King be advised that these changes referred to above in Paragraphs 1 and 2 will be carried out and since he het reapplied by telegram for the position of City Manager. that he be reemployed in accordance with the wishes of the large ma. jority of the citizens of Key West.
