ORAL COMMUNICATIONS <br /> A. Terry Anderlini, 619 Marlin Court, Redwood City, asked the Council to set aside an area <br /> in Redwood Shores where dog owners could take their pets. He asked Council to amend <br /> the City Ordinance prohibiting dogs in City Parks and make a temporary exception that <br /> would allow a portion of the 3.8 acre Marine Park, on the corner of Bridge Parkway and <br /> Marine Parkway, currently being used as a dump site for dredging soils, to be designated <br /> as a recreation area for dogs and their owners. Mr. Anderlini said he had petitions with <br /> 300 signatures in support of this concept, and advised that these supporters would raise the <br /> $5,000 to $10,000 necessary to construct this facility. <br /> Mayor Hartnett acknowledged the letters the Council had received ITom many residents <br /> throughout the City in support of a recreation area for dogs. He explained the process by <br /> which the Council considers these types of citizen requests, and said the first step was a <br /> recommendation ITom the Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> Mayor Hartnett said he would contact the Chair of the Park and Recreation Commission <br /> to find out the status of this request, and then get in touch with Mr. Anderlini and discuss <br /> the matter at a later date. <br /> MEMO 4/15/97 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 <br /> Page No. 250 <br />
