City Council meeting of August 20, 2007 Page 9 number of people with dogs at the Hugo Good Neighbor Days, who did not have their dogs on a leash, which caused some issues with parents and small children. Council agreed to direct City staff to have the Parks and Recreation Commission consider the request at its next regularly scheduled meeting and to submit forth a recommendation. At its August 8, 2007 meeting, the Parks Commission considered an amendment to the City's current ordinance, which would require dogs to be leashed in City parks which are considered "active" parks.
