REGULAR MEETING APRIL 25, 2016 Councilmember Oliver Davis stated he does not mind if he was to be on this Committee and he looks forward to the possibility. Those wishing to speak in favor of the bill: Charles Smith, 2023 South Taylor St. South Bend, stated there is a lot of interest in the community for having more dog parks. The temporary dog park is a good start and there should certainly be more permanent locations. South Bend should meet the needs of the community for both the people and dogs and this resolution does that. Jesse Davis, P.O. Box 10205 South Bend IN, stated Mishawaka has at least one (1) dog park already and its time South Bend got one too. For people who don't have a fenced in lot it is very hard for their dogs to live on a leash the whole time. They need to able to be interact with other dogs and so many people cannot put up fences for their dogs. Dogs are just like people they need to socialize with other dogs and don't do well if they are not well. Yes there needs to be rules and we can definitely sort that out. No one wished to speak in opposition to the bill. Councilmember Dr. David Varner made a motion to adopt Bill 16 -46.
