<br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood advised that they would be using a gate that shuts on its own so that <br />dogs are not able to get out. He advised that they would also check into the liability issue and <br />advised that children without an adult would not be allowed into that area. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere confirmed if the gates could be locked during times when baseball games <br />are ongoing if needed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Backous questioned if there are limits on the number of dogs that can be in that <br />area at one time. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood advised that they would look into those specifics once the project <br />picks up. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock thought that if this were to become popular enough they would research <br />other locations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Backous thought that it was the perfect place to install this feature. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock 'commented that this was an ideal setting and thought it would be <br />interested to see how the deer react to that area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hanson questioned if a smaller area would be installed for smaller dogs to prevent <br />friction. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood thought that this would be a good test to see what is needed and <br />could add a smaller section for smaller dogs in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock questioned if the option to fence in a smaller area could be added to the <br />quote. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood advised that he would do that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hanson questioned if the back area behind the dog area could be mowed to help <br />prevent ticks. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood thought that the area would provide a variety of things, with the <br />shorter grass and longer grass for hunting dogs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock advised that this would be a trial opportunity and that there would be <br />several opportunities to tweak the plan in the future. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Commission was to move forward on this project and Parks Supervisor <br />Riverblood would report back with information. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock questioned if an agenda item could be added to the November meeting to <br />review the lawful gambling fund and how it is replenished. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/October 9, 2008 <br />Page 4. of 6 <br />
