Hello Ileana,
Let me just say -- with all the priorities in hand, NO MONEY should be allocated to Dog Parks when a simple fence could suffice if there is a concern of dogs running off of a leash!!
Any money allocated to Dog Parks by the Mayor is taking away from where the money could be put.
As to the last couple of years of zero money to dog parks -- well dogs only really just started having those "needs".
So you really get it, I don't have different "needs". My dog just died and I just had the discussion with my sister to get one of her 3 Akitas (she has 4 dogs and a cat) or to get one/two of her next set of pups. By the way, I have 3 cats as well.
So, if you read my emails thoroughly, you would understand that PRIORITIES does not mean eliminating. I am Strongly suggesting that you and the rest of those who want the City to pay for your Dogs to run around should really TOW the line way behind THE NEEDS OF OUR KIDS. If you don't listen, those same kids that you negligently re-allocate their playground/education Money from will Rob/Burgularize/Assault you.
Pay attention -- every child who we reach and provide lowers the Crime Rate and increases Taxes. Take your dog over to a friend's house or put up a inexpensive chainlink fence if needed. Jesus Christ -- this is not rocket science.
If you haven't figured it by now, I am not easily nudged of LOGIC. And by the way, there has been dog parks build over the last Several years -- one spearheaded by a Black Neighbor/Friend of Mine.
More than likely, most if not all of those who are fighting for Dog Parks just arrived here and you should understand others have been vested in this City log before you and NEEDS must come first or it is deemed as selfish.
So you get it, the "walking/running "Track" around Turkey Thicket's Baseball field needs to be upgraded so as our feet do not hurt after walking/running on that bumpy surface -- Should your dogs be more important than my feet and how I feel? Our Seniors need Equiptment for their aging bodies to stay healthy, should their pain continue to persist because you want your dogs to have a park? I can continue until you get where dogs and their needs are on the food chain.
Now if this is about you -- purchase where your dog has the ability to run around -- let that be part of the equation that your decision to rent or purchase is based upon. Like I said before, when you move into a city, it is like marrying into a family -- you are now a part of and the priorities in this city are our KIDS NEEDS.
Rob Ramson.

Rob et al,
The proposal of a dog park at Harry Thomas Sr Rec Center does NOT take money from any other city services. (there is no money allocated for a dog park right now, actually).
So there is no money taken away from education, social services or other vital services to make room for dogs. When the mayor designates a chunk of money to be spent on a dog park, then that money MUST be spent on a dog park and cannot be moved to other expenses. For the last serveral years the dog park expense has been zero. So the lack of services that you mention are not to be blamed to dogs (or their owners) but choices that the administration and goverment officials make.
Please let's not pile on citizens that may have needs different from yours. The city is a matter of balancing the needs and wants of its citizens.
