She did not feel this posed a threat to other park users <br />and requested they be allowed to continue. Ms. Nichols stated their group is <br />usually out of the park by 8 or 9 a.m. and there are very few other people using <br />the park before that time. <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding dogs running without a lease and also the <br />problem of dog droppings not being cleaned up. Chair Anderson explained <br />that the city ordinance currently states dogs must be on a leash in city parks. <br />Further discussion followed regarding the possibility of setting certain hours or <br />designating specific sections of the park where dogs could be allowed to run. <br />Phil Has indicated the City Council would need to pass an ordinance <br />amendment to allow either option. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Commissioners to discuss this issue further at the May <br />Park & Recreation Commission meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Tom Cruz, 11146 190th Avenue NW, asked the Commissioners if any steps were <br />being taken to address the park needs of the residents on the east side of <br />Highway 169. Chair Anderson indicated the Park & Recreation Commission, at <br />their February 11 th meeting, established a goal for 1998 to investigate serving the <br />park needs of this area.

Chair Anderson <br />noted staff is still researching availability of vacant land for a park but unless a <br />new development application comes in or a property owner comes forward <br />with a reasonable offer for park land, no action is likely at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />a.

These concepts <br />will be reviewed at the March 11 th Park & Recreation Commission meeting, with <br />more detailed discussion of the Country Crossings 3rd park. Property owners <br />within 350 feet of the Country Crossing 3rd park will then be notified they will <br />have an opportunity to provide input regarding development plans for the park <br />at the April 8, 1998 Park & Recreation Commission meeting.
