In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the construction and operational plans for a new dog enclosure, focusing on sanitation and noise control measures. The enclosure will feature artificial turf, prompting concerns about managing odors from dog urine. Officials confirmed that the area will be equipped with a drainage system that directs waste to the sanitary sewer, with regular rinsing and disinfection scheduled throughout the day, alongside nightly deep cleaning.

The design of the enclosure's perimeter was also a topic of debate. Initially proposed as a block wall, the current plan favors a vinyl or wood-look vinyl fence. Concerns were raised regarding the fence's ability to mitigate noise, with some officials arguing that block walls, while effective in reducing sound, may not absorb noise as well as other materials. One official shared personal experience, noting that a block wall significantly reduced traffic noise compared to a wooden fence.

Additionally, it was highlighted that the facility will have 11 locations, indicating a well-established brand with a history in dog care. Employees will be responsible for managing the dogs' movements in and out of the enclosure, ensuring proper oversight and care. The meeting underscored the importance of addressing both sanitation and noise concerns in the development of the new facility.
