B. DOGS IN PARKS
Commission's recommendation to circulate flyers
explaining the problems with dogs in the parks, citing
the codes and penalties for violations and posting them
at the parks to give adequate warning that violators
will be cited, was approved by Council. CSO's and park
employees will hand them out in the parks for the next
couple of weeks and then begin to cite violators.
It is felt that after a few citations the situation might
improve. Staff will follow through and report back to
the Commission at the next meeting.
A. PRIORITIES

top priority there). 3. Parking for Wildwood Park.
When these projects are completed, the Commission will

projects. In the meantime the Commission will determine
if any items now on the list of improvements can be done
within the operational budget.
