Taylor City Council approved a contract with KAB Enterprises to construct a dog park at Lane Park for $577,476 plus a 4% contingency, with funding identified from ARPA capital outlay grants.
Project staff explained the scope includes upgraded perimeter fencing (industrial aluminum in places, poly-coated cyclone where appropriate) and cameras to improve durability and public safety. "All the fencing for the entire park is in the line item," a staff presenter noted, adding that the project aimed to avoid cheap cyclone fencing in favor of more decorative, durable materials in visible areas. Council members discussed maintenance and past issues at other parks and the importance of camera coverage.
