Upon a vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Parks, Reives, Smith, and Womack <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered a proposal for a Dog Park at O. T. Sloan Park. Parks and Recreation <br />Director John Payne stated this item had been presented to the Board of Commissioners earlier in the <br />year with the site being proposed for Kiwanis Family Park. At that time, the Board was not in favor of <br />the project being located at the Kiwanis Park location due to safety concerns and conflicts with various <br />user groups. Staff, along with a dedicated group of volunteers, developed the current plan to answer <br />concerns of the Board of Commissioners and to be able to provide a suitable site for this type project. <br />Mr. Payne stated the O.T. Sloan site provides for separation of user groups as well as dedicated <br />parking access to the facility. This site will be slightly larger in size than the original plan providing <br />ample shade as well as good drainage for facility users. Mr. Payne asked the Board that his <br />department be allowed to proceed with preliminary plans for the development of the Dog Park project at <br />O.T. Sloan Park. The estimated cost for the project is $25,000, with $5,000 in private donations already <br />received to date and more contributions are expected upon approval of the Board of Commissioners. <br />Staff continues to gather cost estimates on an informal basis.

The motion <br />to approve the revised document failed at that meeing. At the June 17th meeting of the Board, <br />Commissioners asked that this item be placed on the next agenda for discussion. Mr. Crumpton stated <br />the Resolution reflected all changes requested at the last meeting. He also stated that in order for the <br />Resolution to be considered, one of the 4 Commissioners who voted against it at the April 15th meeting <br />would need to make a motion to reconsider the matter. Commissioner Reives, who voted against the <br />policy at the April 15th meeting, moved to reconsider the policy.
