PublicWorks<br />
o The Public Worksstaff partnered with us and installed all of the waste stations as there<br />
were concerns about hitting underground gas and water lines if the installatidn was done<br />
outside ofthe city staff We were very grateful for their partnership<br />
o One of our committee members has kept in touch with Director Beno throughout the<br />
summer According to these interactions there are no specific issues to report other<br />
than a few phone calls about dog waste in the parks<br />
o Director Beno recently suggested we provide a small sign stating no dogs in the<br />
playground area of Kauffman Park The Committee will review and workwith Director<br />
Beno on either repurposing or providing a new sign<br />
