EVERETT -- The City Council this week will begin deliberations to approve a plan to remove and store the Clark Park gazebo and install a dog park.
A final vote is June 5.
A memo outlines that the "project will construct a new 29,700 sq. ft. off leash dog area. The construction of the off-leash dog area will include installation of a 5’ high ornamental metal fence with 2gates in the sally port and a double 4’ gate for the maintenance entrance."
The estimated cost of design, permitting, and construction is $360,000.
The county gave $10,000 in a grant for the dog park.
As the Tribune reported previously, the county grant parameters require the city to have substantial work moving ahead on the dog park by the end of year.
