October 1, 2008 <br />Feasibility of a Dog Park <br />Page 2 <br />has d" of decomposed granite throughout the pazk and option #3 has 8" of decomposed granite <br />throughout the entire park. The Recreation and Park Commission recommends option #2 as it <br />will reduce maintenance costs (decrease need for mowing) and reduce ponding of water (creating <br />mud) while providing a comfortable surface for the dogs. <br />Currently, the Park Development Fund has $700,000. Park Development funds are to be used to <br />build new parks and amenities for the community, not to renovate current parks and facilities. <br />We believe this requirement would make the dog park a good match for the use of these funds. <br />In addition, Four Paws Society will make every effort to reduce the cost to the City by <br />fundraising for the dog park. San Leandro is very fortunate to have a strong, proactive advocacy <br />group that will do every thing possible to ensure the project is a success for the San Leandro <br />Community. <br />The Public Works Department estimated the cost to perform routine maintenance at $22,000 per <br />year. In addition, the variable costs due to vandalism or acts of God, including fence repair and <br />replacement, water breaks and graffiti are estimated at $3,000-$9,000. Currently the <br />maintenance costs for that area are covered under the Heron Bay Assessment District. Should <br />the City convert the area to a dog park the maintenance costs would need to be charged to the <br />general fund. <br />Thank you for requesting our input. We -have learned much about dogs, dog parks and the <br />overwhelming use of our parks by dog owners and the need for a designated area in San Leandro <br />in our year of research. <br />Sincerely, <br />,_ -. ~~ <br />-Peggy H. ombs, Vice Chair <br />The San Leandro Recreation and Parks Commission: Robert Brannan, Luster Knight, Benny <br />Lee, Juan Martinez, Tom Makin, Ed Shapiro and Debi Vandiver <br />
