The Recreation and Community Services Director replied that Veterans Park has the highest volume of use, however it is a personal responsibility of dog owners to pick up after their dogs and that installing dog waste bag dispensers may not provide the solution. Mayor Pro Tem Mills suggested that dog waste dispensers be reinstalled at the five original parks.

It was the consensus of the City Council to put the dog waste dispensers back in the five parks they were originally removed from for a one -year trial basis. Mayor Pro Tem Mills suggested that protective permissive signals be placed at the intersections of Meridian Way, Dana Way, and Holder Street. Mayor Narain asked if the Traffic Engineer could look into costs related to the protective permissive signals.
