Pella council moves forward with negotiation of dog-park partnership at Red Rock campground
Summary
Council directed staff to pursue a formal partnership agreement with the P Dog Park Association and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a proposed dog park at Red Rock campground, authorizing staff to return with a formal agreement in January.
Pella City Council directed city staff to advance negotiations on a proposed dog-park partnership with the P Dog Park Association and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a site at the Red Rock campground.
Staff presented high-level terms of a proposed long-term agreement that would be conditional on the Army Corps granting land for the site and on partnership review of project design. Staff listed phase-one costs at about $169,000 and said the city’s contribution to phase one would be capped at roughly $887,000, with the Dog Park Association responsible for costs beyond that cap. The agreement would assign ownership and maintenance responsibilities to the city while allowing partner review and support for operations.
Council expressed broad support for moving the project to formal consideration and asked staff to return with a draft partnership agreement at the Jan. 7 agenda.
Next steps: staff will negotiate terms with the Army Corps and the dog-park association and present a draft partnership agreement to council for action.
