The neighborhood group expressed that they are willing to help with whatever they can to enhance Birch Park for the residents . Pets in Parks/ _Animal Control on Public Grounds - A discussion centered around a letter from John McClellan, Superintendent of School District #12 . Mr. McClellan wrote and explained to the city that the school district had adopted a policy where dogs and other domestic animals are not to be allowed on school property.

City Administrator, Randy Schumacher suggested that Marty Asleson bring this matter up before the park board before it goes to the City Council . It was agreed that the matter of pet owners walking their animals and not properly removing the animal wastes from the parks is a problem. The city does not have a leash law to enforce. Marty noted that he has had complaints regarding this matter. Brian Bourassa suggested the use of signage in the parks reminding pet walkers to properly remove and dispose of their pet wastes.
