The five-part series begins with "Kirkland 101: How the City Works," which gives an overview of the city organization. The second session (May 16), "Demystifying the Mysteries of Finance and Budget," covers property and other taxes, sources of revenue, and how the City balances it's budget. An insight to police, court, fire, emergency medical, and emergency management services is featured in the third session (May 23) "Public Safety Services Are a Top Priority." Learning how the City plans for and manages growth is highlighted in session four (May 30), "Introduction to Land Use, Zoning, and Capital Improvement Planning." In the final class, "Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Environment," (June 6) an overview of the city's parks system, recreation programs, and environmental protection efforts will be featured. Each session includes an interactive learning exercise. Register for one, some, or all sessions. For more information contact Marie Stake, Communications Program Manager, City of Kirkland, at 425-587-3021 or mstake@kirklandwa.gov. Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast As you
know, the number of displaced families on the Eastside has grown dramatically
over the last several years, and it is especially traumatic for their children.
For this reason we have set a goal to generate from our 2012 Pancake Breakfast,
50% more revenue than we did in 2011. Fun, good food, and community spirit
will bring back many satisfied customers from previous years, but if we can make
even more people aware of our event --- and the growing need --- we will meet
our objective in 2012. To
help get the word out, we are asking that each member take a moment to simply
forward this note to friends, associates, neighbors, and family members who you
think might enjoy joining us for a scrumptious breakfast, knowing that 100% of
the net proceeds will go directly to Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing
(KITH), a respected Kirkland-based organization that is helping so many
displaced Kirkland area families find transitional housing, as well as providing
guidance to help them get their lives back on track. No
hard sell... simply letting good people know about what we are doing, and giving
them a chance to be a part of it. Often, people want to help, but many
don’t know how. Joining us on May 26th is a great way to directly help
displaced families... and have a fun time in the process! If
they would like to know more about KITH, here is their website: http://www.kithcares.org/

Puget Sound Energy Substation Power Line Route 124th Ave NE clean up
On May 19th at 9am we are in need of volunteers to help with the bi-annual clean up of 124th Ave NE that is in North Rose Hill. We will supply the trash bags and stylish red, yellow or orange safety vests. You need to bring yourselves along with gloves and work shoes and weather appropriate clothing. We will meet in the parking lot of Fire Station 26 at the corner of 100th and 124th Ave NE. I would appreciated it if you could let me know if you plan to help, so I have an idea how many volunteers we will have and remember this counts as community service for high school students. Thanks for your consideration and help in advance If you have questions send them on Jeff Trager (kayleenilan@hotmail.com) for the North Rose Hill Neighborhood Association Road closure in some Kirkland neighborhoods starting August 30. The City of Kirkland, along with its contractor, Blackline Inc., will be resurfacing several streets in Kirkland with slurry seal. Slurry seal is a thick cold liquid mixture of asphalt and fine rock (pre-mixed) applied to the existing asphalt surface. Construction is scheduled to begin Aug. 30 and is estimated to be complete within one week. Typical hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. Many factors (including weather) could influence the actual days the work is being done. Rain, or even the threat of rain, will postpone the slurry seal application. The process also requires road closures for one day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Notices will be distributed to all adjacent residents and businesses within 24 hours prior to road closure. No one will be allowed to drive in or out of their driveway or on the street after 8 a.m., at which time the road will be closed to all traffic. The road will remain closed until the slurry seal has been placed and had time to dry thoroughly (which can take anywhere from four to six hours). All roads are scheduled to open by 4 p.m. the same day. For up to date schedule information, call (425) 587-3838.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
from the City of Kirkland Police Department about
RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY
When the weather turns warm, windows and doors are kept open more often to
let cool air in and families may go on vacation leaving the home unoccupied.
Residential burglars often take advantage of the opportunity to easily
enter a home with unlocked doors and windows. Although most residential
burglaries happen when no one is inside, criminals are known to take the risk
even when someone is at home. Criminals only need a few seconds to steal
electronics, jewelry and other valuable items. The Kirkland Police
Department offers the following crime prevention tips to protect your residence
from burglary:
How can I reduce my chances or prevent a residential burglary?
Lock doors and windows.
Do not leave windows open, even on the upper levels.
Reinforce windows and sliding glass doors with secondary locks or dowels (rods) that fit securely in windows. Dowels can be made of wood, PVC pipe or metal.
Do not hide extra keys to the house.
Look at your residence like a burglar would. If you can get into your house without a key, so can the burglar.
Photograph and record all of the serial numbers of your valuables. Keep the list and photographs in a safety deposit box. Good for insurance claims for fire and earthquake also.
When on vacation, have a trusted neighbor take care of your residence, including picking up your mail and newspaper.
Trim all hedges and shrubs so they are not covering windows. Overgrown plants provide good hiding places for burglars and is an indication that you may be away from your home.
Having a dog or an alarm system may deter some criminals.
Start a Neighborhood Watch Program to help neighbors look
out for one another and to report suspicious activities.
