Discussion on Pets and Town playgrounds.
Mitchell reviewed some history/research about this issue and ordinances from nearby towns.
Current Town ordinance already requires dogs to be on a leash, under control of owners and not
to be a public nuisance. Park board agreed with the majority of municipalities and staff,
indicating dogs should be allowed in playgrounds. Current ordinance also states pets are not
allowed in an athletic facility or near restroom/concession areas within a park. Staff will look
into additional notification possibilities to help deter violation of current ordinances.
Discussion on naming of the Parks at Legacy Property.
Naughton reviewed ordinances regarding naming parks. Suggestions for park were discussed.
Action item for next month. If board comes up with other suggestions, send them to town staff
before the next meeting.
