DEL REY OAKS OFFICIALS ARE PROPOSING AN ANNUAL FEE FOR DOG OWNERSHIP. THE PROPOSED CHARGE OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DOLLARS PER YEAR, PER DOG, WOULD COVER REGISTRATION AND THE USE OF THE CITY’S DOG PARK. IN ADDITION, THE DOG OWNERS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF VACCINATION AND LICENSING TO ACCESS THE PARK. SOME OWNERS ARE REPORTEDLY RESISTANT TO THE CHARGE AND FIND IT PROHIBITIVE FOR LOWER INCOME DOG OWNERS. CITY OFFICIALS SAY THE FEES WILL HELP OFFSET THE ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS IT COSTS ANNUALLY TO MAINTAIN THE DOG PARK.
THE DEL REY OAKS CITY COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER THE PROPOSAL AT THEIR NEXT MEETING ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH AT 6 P-M.
