At the May 14 McMinnville City Council meeting, Petco Regional Manager Doug Moehlmann and local Petco store Manager, Rick Fleming, presented Parks and Recreation Director Jay Pearson and Mayor Rick Olson a check in the amount of $18,000 to help provide park lighting during the darkest winter months at the Riverside Drive Dog Park.

Funding comes from the Petco Foundation Grant Program which supports projects nationwide that promote and assist with improving the human/animal bond. City staff submitted a grant proposal in December 2012 and was notified of the grant award from the Petco Foundation in March.

In the late fall and winter months, sunset is very early and it becomes dark in the late afternoon, particularly on cloudy days.  Lighting the year-round half of the Dog Park area between the hours of 4:30pm and 8:00pm extends the day and the opportunity to visit the park for the many dog owners and park patrons who arrive home from work after 5PM. 

Lighting installation is planned for mid-late summer so the lighted park can be available in late fall, when days become shorter and darker.  Lighting will only operate during “winter months” and only until 8PM.

During the City Council’s May 14, 2013 meeting, Public Work’s staff presented an overview of Park Maintenance activities.  The report reviews asset management concepts, discusses various park assets and what sort of work is done to maintain those assets.  The presentation discusses the prioritization process staff undertook in developing the 2013-14 budget proposal.  The report also lists how park maintenance service levels will change as a result of this process, and what activities will take priority.  To view the report click here
