Funds will be available in the Quality of Life Fund (121-48850-312-20-170001-0) upon
approval of the attached appropriation ordinance.
The development of dog parks in Grapevine was one of the highest priorities of the citizens
of Grapevine in the March 2015 Quality of Life survey. The Grapevine Chamber of
Commerce 2015 Leadership Grapevine class project was to be an advocate for the
creation of a dog park. The class made presentations to the Parks & Recreation Advisory
Board and several civic groups.
At the November 1, 2016 City Council meeting staff presented two options for council.
Direction was given at that meeting to self -perform construction saving approximately
$900,000 versus contracting the park construction out to a general contractor.
Staff recommends approval.
