1.Open Forum.
Michael Steiner lives at 10605 74 Lane. Mr Steiner requested a dog park be installed
at the Kittregde Crossing Park.
Bonnie Wos 10593 74 Lane NE Kittredge Crossings. Ms. Wos gave the reasons why
she thought a neighborhood dog park would be an asset to their community.
Interim Parks and Rec Director Jacobs showed the map of Kittredge Park and where
Mr Steiner proposed the site of the dog park. Mr. Jacobs also presented proposed
cost estimates.
After discussion, the commissioners agreed that at this time they would not move
forward with Mr. Steiner’s request because this request does not meet the
guidelines for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan because dog parks are installed
in large community parks and also the extra costs associated with installation and
maintenance of an added dog park.
Chair Baltos requested that staff keep track of all resident requests for any park
amenity.
