Question: Is funding included in the FY 2027 budget to install lighting at Montgomery Park Dog Park? If not, what would it cost to add it? What would it cost to install lights and a water fountain for dogs at the Duke Street Dog Park? (Mayor Gaskins, Vice Mayor Bagley, Councilman Aguirre)
Response:
No funding is included in the FY 2027 budget to install lighting at Montgomery Park Dog Park.
Based on the installation of solar lighting at Ben Brenman Park Dog Park in 2020, the estimated costs to install solar lighting, including design and engineering costs are:
- Montgomery Park Dog Park: approximately $90,000
- Holmes Run/Duke Street Dog Park: approximately $195,000
Regarding the dog fountain at Duke Street Dog Park, this improvement is already included as part of the current CFMP project and is scheduled for installation in Summer 2026.
