<br />· Providing an off-leash area clearly benefits pet owners; and other park patrons in terms of <br />reducing conflicts between dogs and people <br />· A designated dog park can enhance the social experience for dog enthusiasts by <br />providing a place to meet <br />· Code enforcement may be easier within the park system when there is a place for off- <br />leash activity <br /> <br />In terms of moving this concept forward, the project has not been identified in the Capital <br />Improvement Program, however, the scope of work and cost are minimal. Staff estimates that <br />fencing and gates can be installed for less than $7,000 for commercial grade chain link fencing <br />with bottom tension wire. Because of the return on value that this concept provides, staff is <br />recommending that the project be considered by City Council yet this year. The recommended <br />funding source would be the same source that provided for the outfield fencing - the Lawful <br />Gambling Fund. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br />Police Chief <br />Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />P&R: 10/9/08 <br />
