What readers need to know
Pacific Grove’s Recreation Board is scheduled to discuss a dog park subcommittee update Thursday, October 22, at 4 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber, 300 Forest Avenue. Item 7B calls for receiving the report for discussion. The agenda also lists virtual participation through the city’s Recreation Board Zoom link.
In an October 14 letter included in the official packet, board member Alex White says the subcommittee evaluated Caledonia, Arnett, Rip Van Winkle and Hayward parks, with Hayward ranking highest under its criteria. The letter describes donor-dedicated funding of $500,000 and draft site maps for Arnett and Hayward. Those statements are the subcommittee’s account, not an independently audited funding balance.
The letter seeks support for approaching City Council this year. The scheduled item does not approve a park, select a site or authorize construction. Residents can review the packet and offer comments on the proposal at the meeting.
