and discussing it with SFWD, Mr. Aguilar noted that our permit request is being viewed favorably pending completion of five requirements. He gave each of the Commissioners a copy of his cover memo and the correspondence received from SFWD for their review. He noted that three of the five requirements from SFWD he has already begun work on. One of the remaining requirements is that the City will have to pay a one-time non- refundable permit fee of $500.00 to cover processing, inspection and other administrative costs incurred by the SFWD. Mr. Aguilar said that no monies have been budgeted for this project now or in the proposed FY94-95 operational budget. SFWD is also requiring that the City must agree to pay 50% of the annual property taxes being levied on the property in question, with the exact amount to be determined at a later date. In addition, SFWD is requiring written approval from the four property owners who live adjacent to the property before the permit can be processed. Mr. Aguilar said the plans for the dog exercise area include installation of fencing on the three remaining sides using surplus chain link fencing located at the Municipal Services Center. The installation of the fence is planned to be done by Work Furlough crews. Commissioner Davis asked if the agreement could be amended to add a clause that would allow planting of grass on the property. He also asked if we should check with dog owners in the community about the proposal.

Director Griffiths told the Commissioners that he felt we should think through all the annual costs associa ted with this project.
