Summary

Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the Safety Service Director to contract with Hyde Park Landscaping and Best Fence Cincinnati for a community dog park, not to exceed $64,000, on a 7-0 roll call vote.

Council approved a third-reading ordinance authorizing the Safety Service Director to enter agreements with Hyde Park Landscaping and Best Fence Cincinnati for the construction of a community dog park for an amount not to exceed $64,000. The motion to adopt carried on a 7-0 roll call vote; the ordinance was recorded as Ordinance No. 2025-44.

An earlier emailed communication from resident Valerie Grein urged council to establish a dog park, saying, "I am a strong supporter of a dog park in our Reading community" and arguing it would "enhance Reading's values of livability and recreation." The ordinance text names contractors and the not-to-exceed amount; council took final action at this meeting rather than referring the matter back to committee.
