Council invites DogPAC to visit

The members of DogPAC in Sartell should feel free to visit the Sartell City Council to share concerns, to give project updates or to make requests.

That was a somewhat indirect invitation that resulted from a discussion at the last city-council meeting.

Council member Amy Braig-Lindstrom told the council volunteer members of DogPAC (a tongue-in-cheek designation for Dog Park political-action committee) have been using their own money to pay for marketing and fundraising. That group is currently trying to raise funds to build a chain-link fence around land the city has granted in north Pinecone Central Park for a dog park. About $50,000 to $60,000 is needed for the fence, according to DogPAC.

Months ago, the city council agreed to give $10,000 toward the project, money that would come from the city’s capital fund via a slight increase in the cost of dog-license fees. Braig-Lindstrom said many residents think they city has already contributed that $10,000 to the dog park, which can make fundraising problematic. Giving the $10,000 now to DogPAC might help “fast-track” the fundraising efforts, said Braig-Lindstrom. She then requested the council put the dog-park issue on a future city-council agenda so council members could discuss it again and clarify dog-park-related issues.

The rest of the council (member David Peterson was not present) declined to put “dog park” on a future agenda, feeling that it is not necessary.

Council member Sarah Jane Nicoll said she is willing to consider giving DogPAC, say, $2,000 of the $10,000 allocated amount for advertising to promote fundraising but not the whole amount. If DogPAC members want to come to the council to make such a request or other request, they should feel free to do so, Nicoll said.
