Ms. Hassis commented that she will be aware of the option but asked how other small dog owners <br />would be aware of this option. <br />Councilmember Heineman stated that there are two parts at the dog park, one designated for more <br />timid dogs. He asked if the resident would be okay splitting the areas into one area for <br />large/energetic dogs and the other for small/timid dogs. <br />Ms. Hassis stated that she would have to see it proven that large timid dogs would be okay with <br />her smaller dog. <br />Councilmember Heineman explained that other residents have brought forward requests in the past <br />and had to wait for a response and an additional area to be designated for timid dogs. He stated <br />that this would follow a similar pattern, where the Commission needs time to discuss and respond. <br />He noted that the hockey rink was a suggestion of where the resident could have their dog off - <br />leash for the time being while the issue is being further discussed. <br />Commissioner Walker stated that he is simply attempting to provide a solution for this resident's <br />dog while the matter is being discussed in attempt to resolve the issue for all small dog owners. <br />Chair Bennett explained that it will take time for the Commission to discuss the matter and action <br />to occur and the hockey rink was a suggestion for the resident to do if they are concerned for the <br />safety of their dog today. <br />Ms. Hassis stated that perhaps a sign could be installed alerting other small dog owners to this <br />suggestion. <br />Commissioner Barten stated that anyone watching the meeting would now be aware of the option <br />as well. <br />Ms. Hassis stated that she appreciates the time of the Commission and hopes this issue can be <br />solved for small dog owners. <br />3.
