Minutes 12-19-95 Page 4 Rosemary Turk, of Westlake Village, spoke in opposition to the Triunfo Park site, and cited current problems of unleashed dogs in the park. Marcia Spater, of Westlake Village, identified concerns about dogs jumping over a fenced enclosure, odor, noise, and insects, and said that Triunfo Park is too small to accommodate a "dog park" facility. Debby Carloni, of Thousand Oaks, spoke in support of removing Triunfo Park from consideration as a site for the "dog park", and urged using another site for the facility. She said that the initial fund raising event of the Park and Bark group was held in September, the number of those attending the event may not correlate to the number who would use the "dog park", a "dog park" facility would offer recreation activities to another segment of the community, and the Bark and Park group wants to work with the District to establish such a facility. Jonni Savenick, of Westlake Village, said she spoke on behalf of her deceased dog. She said that in the past, due to medical problems, she has unleashed her dog and she asked that a "dog park" be located near Village Homes. Pamela Barlow, of Westlake Village, said that she supports a leash free "dog park" in Conejo Valley, she is pleased with the interest shown, and the local homeowners associations do not necessarily reflect everyone's view. She urged further research, which would include Triunfo Park, and she offered to share educational information. Bill Froehlich, of Westlake Village, thanked Sorensen and praised the park system in Conejo Valley. He said he supports an enclosed dog run in Conejo Valley to be located in a more appropriate area, and more than one dog run is needed. Lawrence Schalf, of Westlake Village, said he spoke on behalf of his dog. He said he supports a "dog park" in another area, and unused areas of a park can attract undesirable people and misuse of the park. Jack Sweeney, of Westlake Village, spoke in support of a leash free "dog park" and the use of Triunfo Park as a site.
