Neighbors urge pause and transparency for Demone Ranch dog park construction

Neighbors of Demone Ranch Park pressed the Reno City Council during public comment to halt construction of a fenced dog park until residents living adjacent to the park are meaningfully involved. Jeff Rolbert (on the public-docket list as Jeff Hurlburt) said fence posts were installed starting around Aug. 28 and that many neighbors only learned of the project after mobilization work began. He said the project was funded at "more than $200,000" and that conditional approval from the neighborhood architectural committee came after construction had started.
