A. Dog Park Fund Raising and Eagle Scout Project:
Mitchell Grelson, Eagle Scout volunteer, attended the meeting.
John, Matt, Terry and Mitchell met at the dog park location after the last meeting. The
area was selected for Mitchell to lay a 16x16 or 16x20 area with paving stones for pet
owners to relax. He will build at least one (handicap accessible) picnic table and plant
approximately six trees.
This area would be close to the north end of the dog park on a piece of higher ground
near the 10x10 entrance.
Jodi suggested that we may need a road sign and dog park rules.
The suggestion was made that a $10 donation for dog park use is recommended for those
purchasing dog licenses.
The Board discussed the possibility of including a donation box at the park.
Matt has spoken to and applied online for donations from businesses. He had cards
printed to be placed at local businesses for donations.
