Need your help getting the Planned Dog Park!!!

Today, I received the following information regarding the Planned Dog Park, "Bark Park." It seems that there are a couple of stubborn Commissioners that need help understanding the importance of having a place in SoWal where we can legally take our dogs to run off leash in a fenced area. Please read the following and send out an email to the Commissioners if you cannot personally attend the upcoming meeting.

The dogs need your help!!! Please help us get this dog park going. My dogs will love you forever!:wub:


The email:
...trouble regarding the Bark Park approval. First, the
agreement has been picked apart and David Hallman the attorney has
written two versions to try to appease the dissenting commissioners regarding
whether it is a joint agreement or a lease. Small potatoes in my book-it could
be either. Another commissioner is trying to delay the dog park until
the dog shelter is built in North Walton County, an 18-24 month process. He's
also objecting to our getting the land because of some alleged violations
on Spike's property. Or he's using that as an excuse to delay our
project until he get's what he wants. BUT..We're going to face opposition on
Tuesday January 10th and we need to be prepared.

... (We need to) have as many voters and property owners in Walton County there as possible.
The meeting starts at 4PM at the South Walton Annex.
Please e-mail everyone you know and ask them to
be there to support the approval of the park. Let them know that the
newspaper said it was approved but it has not yet been approved and we need their help.
They should not bring pets to the courthouse. ...the park is
not just affiliated with Spike, but has a broad base of support and a
respected Board of Directors.

As important as it is for people to be there at the meeting, some
people just can't. Please tell them to show their support by sending an e-mail
to ALL five commissioners saying they are voters and want this park NOW.
Here are e-mail addresses for you to send via cut and paste.
