Embro Dog Park Committee
Le comité doit décider de l'éclairage et de l'inclusion de l'eau pour le parc à chiens
Le Comité du parc à chiens Embro votera pour savoir s'il faut inclure l'éclairage et les infrastructures d'eau dans le projet de parc à chiens au parc Matheson. Le personnel recommande de retirer ces commodités afin de maintenir le budget en dessous de 42 000 $ et d'éviter des préoccupations opérationnelles. La résolution sera ensuite transmise au conseil de Zorra pour examen le 15 juillet. Cette décision affectera le coût, le calendrier et les efforts de collecte de fonds du projet.
- Le comité doit adopter une résolution sur les options d'éclairage et d'eau pour le parc à chiens.
- Le rapport du personnel recommande l'absence d'éclairage (coût de 20 000 $) et l'absence d'eau sur place (coût de 9 500 $), en utilisant l'eau existante de la cafétéria et un fonctionnement de l'aube au crépuscule.
- La résolution sera transmise au conseil de Zorra le 15 juillet 2026.
- Le coût total du projet sans éclairage ni eau est de 39 000 $, ce qui respecte le budget approuvé de 41 917 $.
- L'emplacement du parc à chiens est confirmé au parc Matheson.
