A. Ms. Patty White, Temecula, spoke on behalf of the many dog owners who enjoy going to
Redhawk Community Park to let their dogs socialize with other dogs, and requested that the
City Council consider the posting of times for off-leash play.
Referencing Ms. White's request, City Manager Nelson stated that there would be liability issues
associated with posting of signs for off-leash play time; however, understanding that there is a
need for a dog park, staff would be working on establishing an interim fencing project that would
allow an area in the Redhawk Community Park for an off-leash play time until permanent
improvements are made.

regard to off-leash play time for dogs and spoke in favor of a dog park for the Redhawk area.

Workshop held on May 17, 2006, and that staff is in the process of implementing dog parks in
the community.
C. Mr. John Thomas, Temecula VFW Post 4089, extended an invitation to a Memorial Day
Ceremony that will be conducted at the Temecula Cemetery, located on "C" Street off Santiago

dog parks located throughout the City for all to enjoy.
E. Ms. Dee Mc Clure, San Bernardino Construction Liason for Caltrans, apprised the City
Council of an upcoming project that will begin late summer 2006 on 1-15 in Fontana, advising
that more information will be forwarded to the City as it becomes available.
F. Mr. Mike Kuhn, Temecula, read quotes from an article from the Valley News, dated May
5, 2006, with regard to why the City Council refused to build North General Kearny and to open
Sanderling, Starling, and Kahwea Roads. Mr. Kuhn also expressed his disappointment with the
City Council for not helping to retain the third largest employer in Temecula. In addition, Mr.
Kuhn stated that he will be working through November 2006 to find a replacement City Council
Member that would represent the community as a whole, not just one specific area.
In response to Mr. Kuhn's comment with regard to the third largest employer leaving the City of
Temecula, Council Member Washington requested that Assistant City Manager O'Grady inquire
of Mr. Kuhn's previous employer and return to the City Council with a full report.
G. Mr. Ken Johnson, Temecula, spoke of the recommendation of a dog park, and relayed
his opposition.
H. Ms. Betty Johnson, Temecula, spoke in opposition of a dog park at Redhawk

would be in place to protect children, adults, and other animals and that the City should maintain
its current leash laws and vigorously enforce them.

Park becoming a dog park, advising that dogs not on leashes could chase children and adults
which could result in a dangerous situation.
K. Ms. Amanda Schwarzer, Temecula, spoke in favor of dog parks and stated that dog
parks do not cause homes to depreciate; and that due to the fact that the City of Temecula is a
family community, a dog park would be an asset and desireable for new community members.
Clarifying for the record, Council Member Edwards noted that although a specific dog park has
not been determined, the City Council recommended that a place be made in the budget for
three dog parks, located in the northern, central, and southern end of the City.

of dog parks, noting that dog parks would be an essential part of making a community whole;
that benefits enjoyed by dogs are also benefits to dog owners; and that a well adjusted, less
aggressive dog, would be easier to handle for an owner.
N. Mr. Matthew Pagues, Temecula, spoke in favor of dog parks, suggesting that specific
dog park hours be imposed.
CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Addressing the dog park issue, Mayor Pro Tem Washington noted that city staff will, to
the best of its ability, make an effort to balance the needs of the community.
Mr. Washington requested that staff review the Nicolas Valley Area as it would relate to
infrastructure or the lack of infrastructure.
B. Referencing dog parks, Council Member Comerchero stated that it would be his opinion
that there would need to be as many dog parks as necessary to accommodate the community;

generous donations of many businesses and families in the community, $179,000 was raised
for scholarships.
E. With regard to Indian Gaming, Mayor Roberts noted the following:
· That every County in California that has Indian Gaming would have an Indian
Gaming Local Community Benefits Committee (CBC)

spent on direct impacts to the City that would be most affected by the casino
