Irish Avenue Park Complaint <br /> <br />Members of the Rupnow Family shared concerns of unleashed dogs at Irish Avenue Park, which they live <br />adjacent to. They reported that dogs have killed the chickens they keep on their property and <br />aggressively approached them at the park. The attacks happen when owners are not present and at <br />times are not aware that their animals have left park property. Several emails have been sent to the <br />City Hall informing of the chickens being killed and other concerns. <br /> <br />Scott Anderson, Public Works Director informed new park rules signage was installed, fence was <br />repaired and installed on the shared property line and that the park trail has been rerouted to guide <br />park users away from the property line. Park rules includes that dogs must be under control at all times. <br /> <br />The Ruppnows have a chicken coop that is not fenced and would like to continue to let their chickens <br />free roam the 10 acres of their land.
