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.
