John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />Susan Simpson, Cultural and Human Services Director <br /> <br />January 17,2008 <br /> <br />Proposed Dog Park <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that you consider the attached resolution to create a dog park area at Senator <br />Gwen Margolis Park. This pilot project will be reassessed after 3 months. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />At the November meeting, the City Commission discussed the possibility of creating a dog park <br />area at Senator Gwen Margolis Park. Staff was instructed to report back to the Commission <br />regarding the feasibility of such a project at that location. <br /> <br />Attached is a detailed aerial map of the location that is being considered, along with a budget <br />which includes the Capital costs as well as the Operating and Maintenance costs for this <br />project. In sum, the total cost for a 'bare bones' dog park is $46,275.00 in capital expenses and <br />$27,600.00 in annual O&M costs. The entire dog park area will be approximately 18,000 <br />square feet including entrances and walk paths. The first phase of the project, the fencing, <br />initial amenities and landscaping, could be physically completed within 2 months of notice to <br />proceed. The actual opening would be dependent on the recruitment of volunteers and/or <br />contracting the maintenance of the dog park area which we expect would be accomplished <br />within the same 2 months. <br /> <br />To be completed by Department Head To be completed by City Clerk's Office <br />Funding available: Approval: Agenda Item No.: <br />Finance Department City Manager <br /> Commission Meeting Date: <br /> <br />Dogpark 011708 <br />
