The Lebanon City Council meeting on April 28, 2025, highlighted the upcoming dog park, sparking discussions about its management and safety measures. A key point of contention was the misconception regarding the presence of a full-time attendant at the park. Mayor Janelle clarified that there will not be a full-time staff member on-site, contrary to rumors circulating in the community.

Instead, the park will implement an access control system requiring dog owners to register their pets. This registration process is designed to ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, prioritizing the health and safety of both park visitors and their furry companions. Mayor Janelle emphasized that this approach aligns with practices observed in other dog parks, which often require similar safety measures.

The council also introduced a fundraising initiative for the dog park, featuring a creative donation system where contributors can have their names or their pets' names displayed on dog bone-shaped plaques. The size of the plaque will correspond to the donation amount, with four categories starting from $250.

As the city prepares for the dog park's opening, these discussions underscore the council's commitment to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for pets and their owners. The anticipated registration process and fundraising efforts are set to enhance the park's community engagement and operational effectiveness.
