MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Steve Benoit, Recreation Manager <br />DATE: December 7th, 2010 <br />SUBJECT: Dog Waste in City Parks <br />Concern has been raised regarding dog waste left in City Parks. This waste can have <br />significant negative impacts on the environment of the parks. Currently the following <br />techniques have been utilized to address this issue: <br />• Dog waste stations have been placed at park locations that tend to attract a large <br />number of park users with dogs such as Woodland Trails Paxk and Meadowvale <br />Heights Paxk. As budgets allow it is planned to install additional dog waste stations <br />in other park locations. <br />• Literature has been developed to educate the public on the negative impacts of dog <br />waste left in City Parks. <br />Staff would like feedback from the Commission regarding this issue and methods in which it <br />can be addressed. <br />h:AMy llocumentaACnrtvrtissionAProrectioa of Nam~al RG101][CGti\Dog Wus[c Mcmadoc <br />
