Their proposal indicates that a suitable area has not been available in the City and that they have a need for the training space as well as existing training tools and equipment. The proposal includes fencing off an area approximately the size of a football field that is currently unutilized within the park due to itslocation largely under power lines. Financial Impact All costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of the K9 training area are proposed to be covered by Fridley Public Safety, largely through donations that have been received. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Commission discuss the proposed project and provide questions and feedback regarding the establishment of the K9 training area.

The concrete floor is also experiencing cracking of the caulked joints. The 14 Jufn!4/ company who gave the quote on the columns declined to bid for the joints as they were concerned that the procedure they use would damage the recently refinished floor.
