Members of the news media had gathered, along with the mayor of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and a group of Rotary members, on the bank of the murky Detroit River. It was early August and the members were about to amaze the reporters on hand.
Jason Browne and Adam Barth, members of Rollin’ With Rotary, a four-person team of Rotary members who visited a dozen cities this summer, dipped a bucket into the polluted water. The reporters watched as they poured the brownish water into a filter, part of a $1,000 survival kit that Rotary and its project partner ShelterBox distribute to disaster victims worldwide. The water came out clear. Browne, Barth, and their teammates drank glassfuls and grinned broadly.
Then they invited Mayor Drew Dilkens to take a drink. “He survived,” says Rotary International Director Jennifer Jones, laughing. “And the media went nuts!” Jones, who is from Windsor, traveled with the team.
Mequon tries to control Airbnb and other short-term rentals By Jeff Rumage
Mequon - Mequon city officials continue to grapple with an ordinance that would restrict short-term home rentals on websites like Airbnb.
The ordinance would make homeowners apply for a permit costing between $100 to $200 in order to rent a home to a maximum of four guests in one to four bedrooms no more than nine days per year. Renting a house to five or more guests is considered a hotel under the city's zoning code. The ordinance would not prohibit the long-term rental of homes for 30 consecutive days or more.
The ordinance, which was first introduced in June, is seen as an infringment of private property rights by Mequon resident Alice Matthews, who has rented her home during the summer months for the past two years. She said renting her home should not qualify as a commercial enterprise under the zoning code.
