Mission Viejo Dog Park

The Mission Viejo City Council agenda is out for Monday's April 2nd meeting and guess what - no agenda item regarding the dog park from either Schlicht or Reardon.

Please show up to Monday's meeting and speak during public comments regarding Reardon and Schlicht voting no on the land swap deal. We have asked them in numerous articles and letters, that they owe us NOW a viable location and budget that they are willing to vote yes since they claim that they are in favor of a dog park. 

Reardon and Schlicht seem to be saying that they know more than the 10 years of data done on the research for a dog park and the cost. Schlicht's insane idea of rotating existing parks for a dog park would cost the city more than the proposed dog park. It would be like painting your home every 3 months. Ridiculous!!

If Reardon and Schlicht vote no on the analysis of 10 years, then they owe us an answer on what they would actually vote yes on.   No more suggesting existing neighborhood parks as they know none of them meet the criteria and most of the neighborhood would go ballistic.  

I need the city council chamber to be filled with dog park supporters and I need many, many speakers. This is going to be during public comments which is at the beginning of the meeting so you won't need to be there for very long. 

If you have a blue dog park shirt, please wear it. If you have a royal blue shirt, please wear it.

Schlicht mocked us at the last meeting because only a handful of people were there. She actually said that the dog park must not be an important issue any longer "because the sea of blue shirts" weren't in attendance. OMG!!

If you don't want to speak, that's okay but your presence is still very important.

Mission Viejo City Counci Chamber is located across the parking lot from the Mission Viejo Library.  Thank you!!
