Miro's Run

Hi Everyone! We had a Resurfacing meeting today and created a preliminary plan that includes doing the following:

-- moving the fence back on the right side of the run to almost double the size of the existing run
-- resurfacing with granite, wood chips or grass*
-- creating a separated run for small dogs with a separate entrance
-- creating a new water fountain with better drainage
-- poop bag dispensers
-- enclosed bulletin boards in both entrances
-- garbage cans in both entrances
-- a waterproof box for toys (so that they can be put away when toy-aggressive dogs come in)
-- more trees along the back edge to block the highway
-- removal of the fences around the trees that already exist
-- a shed near the existing entrance to keep shovels, wheelbarrows, and rakes for cleaning the woodchips
-- removal of dead trees and trees where the shed will be

*We think we prefer wood chips, but we are waiting to hear back from managers of other dog runs who have wood chips to see if the pros outweigh the cons

If anyone would like to add or subtract anything or has any suggestions, please let us know. We don't expect to get everything we ask for so we are creating what we see as our ideal dog run. Katie is going to be creating a landscape drawing of this and I will be submitting it to Craig to give to the Park's Department.

We also came up with the name "Miro's Run," based on the story that Andrea heard from Alyssa Bonilla. Any thoughts on this?

Karen graciously offered to be the interim Treasurer and set up our bank account. Thanks Karen!
Thanks to everyone who showed up to the meeting and a big thanks to Andrea for hosting!
