RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-10-13 | 3 | dog agility equipment for the Washington Park Dog Park. If dog agility equipment is purchased and put in the Dog Park the equipment will walk away. If the equipment is permanently secured then there will be some liability issues. Staff can do research on other cities to see what they do (e.g., if there are specific designated areas, etc.). ARPD would not be able to do special times for using the equipment because it would entail putting the equipment out and taking the equipment in which will incur staff costs. Commissioner Ogden asked what the cost would be to install the equipment. AD Lillard stated it is not known at this time. The questions are: Does the Commission even want dog agility equipment at the site? If temporary equipment is put out at the Dog Park, how will we put it up and take it down? Or, do we want to put in equipment and anchor/secure it down? But, once the equipment is secured then that whole area is dedicated to that particular use. Commissioner Kahuanui mentioned that the area then becomes a liability if someone does not see the equipment and trips or falls. Commissioner Reeves suggested talking to the City Attorney's Office regarding the liability issue. Commissioner Johnson stated there is a Dog Park in the Hayward area that has agility equipment for both the small and big dogs. AD Lillard asked if the equipment was anchored/secured Ms. Johnson stated that it is secured but no one really uses it. Personally she does not feel that installing agility equipment is a good idea. Commissioner Reeves suggested contacting the donor to see if there is something else besides agility equipment that she would like to see the donation go to. AD Lillard stated staff will research the issue. Commissioner Johnson suggested that there are people who teach dog agility classes and maybe staff can find someone who would do that at the Dog Park. C. Discussion of Departmental Reorganization - (Discussion Item) AD Lillard provided the Commissioner with an updated Organizational Chart for the Recreation and Park Department. Since Fred Framsted, Recreation Supervisor, retired some duties were reassigned to different staff. This chart will let the Commission know who is responsible for which program. 6.
