reitmeyer said.
Steve Carr provided an update about the
ongoing dog park project.
“We had an original donor for 3,000

we need to raise approximately $18,000 for
the fencing. a campaign has been set so that
businesses can purchase sections of the
fence and have a plaque go on it … it will
be $100 for a section,” Carr said.
reitmeyer spoke about the vandalism
