BACKGROUND: At the request of residents, the City Commission has approved
construction of a dog park on City-owned property at the Hopkins Creek pond site.
Improvements to be made include an access control system to ensure only authorized
use, fencing necessary to provide separate play areas for large and small dogs, a rinsing
station for dogs who swim in the pond, benches and multiple doggy waste stations to
help maintain park cleanliness and sanitation. The Atlantic Beach Dog Park Committee
operating under the umbrella of the AB Public Arts Commission, Inc. (°ABPAC"), a
501(c)(3) organization, has agreed to be responsible for routine cleanup of the park and
for future fund raising efforts to support rogular maintenance of and future improvements
to the dog park.
The City of Jacksonville has appropriated $15,000 in district funding through an
interlocal agreement to partially finance improvements to this dog park. In addition, the
City of Atlantic Beach is entering into an agreement with the Dog Park Committee /
ABPAC to raise donations of approximately $5,800, of which $2,740 was already
received by the City in 2008, for the initial improvements. This is a revision to the
amount of funds noted in the first roading staff report, because of a request from the Dog
Park Committee to use $1,200 to purchase commemorative T-shirts for sale at the
planned Grand Opening Fund Raising event. The committee anticipates this amount,
plus additional funds raised, will be transferred to the city after the Grand Opening.
BUDGET: The General Fund revenue budget will be increased $20,800 by the various
donor sources described above, and the dog park project expense budget in the Public
Works Department will be increased by $20,800. The net effect to fund balance in the
General Fund is $0.
