<br />MEETING DATE: October 23, 2006 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Ordinance – Dog Park <br /> <br />AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />CAN THIS ITEM BE RESCHEDULED? : No <br /> <br />BACKGROUND REVIEW: The University City Dog Park is leased to a non-profit group which manages the park <br />and charges dues to cover the cost of maintenance. We collect the fees and pass them on to the organization. <br />We currently charge $80 for the first non-resident dog and $25 for the second. Of this fee, the city keeps $25 on <br />the first dog and $5 on the second. In order to make the park more accessible and to keep pace with the <br />competition they are facing from other local dog parks that have opened since we last adjusted our fees <br />(Maplewood, Kirkwood, South City and others), the board voted to reduce the non-resident fee from $80 to $50. <br />This is still 2.5 times the resident fee of $20 and gives residents a much better deal than non-residents. The <br />change will not impact the amount the city collects for the non-resident dogs the (name of the group) will receive <br /> <br />$30 less for the non-resident dogs. <br /> <br /> <br />
