Kingsburg staff says dog-park construction nearly complete; one state payment remains

At the meeting, Adam (City staff) updated the Community Services Commission on the dog-park project closeout and remaining tasks.

Adam said final expenditures have been submitted and one last grant payment request to the state remains for about $350,000 to finish remaining work. Staff reported an order for green lattice fencing has been received and installation on the freeway side is expected shortly. A broken water fountain at the site has replacement parts on order, and staff will install them when available.

Adam also addressed resident comments posted online about pet-waste bag dispensers, explaining that the dispensers are stocked as a courtesy but are not refilled daily; Public Works monitors them and the public is encouraged to bring their own bags.

Next steps: staff will proceed with the remaining installations and finalize the state payment request; the commission had no objection to proceeding with closeout activities.
