Robyn welcomed those in attendance. Jasmine has moved to Belleville and is no longer
involved with the Picton Dog Park. Robyn will continue to attempt to get all documents,
fundraising items from Jasmine.
Update: the Dog Park fund currently has raised approximately $3500.00
2.) The issue was raised to re-contact Prince Edward County Council to ensure a section
of Delhi Park previously allocated for the park is still available prior to further
fundraising. (This task has not yet been delegated.) The next council meeting is scheduled
for May 26th as they meet every other Monday. It was noted that council starts to review
budgets and allocate monies in September/October of each year.
3.) A business plan needs to be developed re: costs of fencing, lay-out of the park etc.
Discussion ensued as to the need for liability insurance.
Stephen Snyder owner of CB Contracting attended the meeting with a preliminary park
plan at the estimated cost of $18,000. Discussion ensued re: treated lumber posts vs metal
posts. Estimated proposal from CB Contracting is with treated lumber posts.
