MOTION: It was m/s by Brown/Thorne, to approve the schematic plan for the Bernal Property Oak Woodland Area and direct staff to identify, within this area, a suitable location for a one to two acre dog park with the appropriate amenities. Motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Thome withdrew his second, clarifying that he would prefer to direct staff to return at the February 24, 2014 workshop with a recommendation regarding two dog park locations: one on the Bernal Property and one elsewhere in the city. He said that he was looking for a thoughtful analysis and did not wish to restrict staff from examining Phase 2 area or any other portion of the Bernal Property.
