He said that if we are going to have a facility, there is a need to <br />accomodate both. <br /> <br />Resident Lori Nielsen said she has been going to dog obedience through the <br />Park and Recreation Department and felt it was very important to have an <br />obedience area. <br /> <br />Motion passed. <br /> <br />ITEM 5 - November Meeting Date <br /> <br />The Commission decided to hold its November meeting on November 27 but begin <br />the meeting at 6:30pm. <br /> <br />ITEM 6 - Park Tour <br /> <br />Chairperson Nordness mentioned that he spoke with Mayor LaBerge regarding the <br />park tour and what could be done to generate more interest.
