Community volunteers outline dog park shade options and fundraising plans
Summary
Residents and volunteers discussed shade-structure options for the dog park, costing from about $5,000 (fiberglass pole option) to $13,000–$20,000 (metal-roof shelters); current dog park fund balance was estimated at $5,000–$6,000 with a $4,000 contribution noted from Cheryl Hawkins.
Cathy presented options to add a shade structure to the dog park and reviewed several approaches: a fiberglass pole structure priced around $5,000 that can be removed seasonally, and traditional metal‑roofed shelters estimated at $13,000–$20,000. She said the project began from community interest and that recent efforts have focused on reviving the initiative despite limited funds.
Board members and community contributors discussed fundraising strategies—pizza-ranch events, donation jars—and concrete/installation considerations including whether a contractor could pour footings. Cathy agreed to supply Bryan with details on available funds and structure sizes; Bryan agreed to obtain exact quotes so the project can move forward. Transcript notes the dog park fund at an estimated $5,000–$6,000 and a $4,000 contribution from Cheryl Hawkins for amenities.
