Centennial Mountain Lions Club <br />Cle Elum WA <br />Club President DeAnna Haverfield <br />May 7,2020 <br />To whom it may concern, <br />Hello there, my name is DeAnna and I am the club president for the Cle Elum Lions club. We <br />have been working with the city for quite some time now to develop a dog park in our <br />community. We are excited for the addition to accornmodate local families, but mostly for our <br />travelers. During the summer months we are inundated with travelers off l-90. They stop in <br />town to stretch their legs, patron local business and rejuvenate for their long trip home through <br />heavy su m mer traffic. Many of these travelers have pets with no place to exercise them or even <br />let them out for fresh air. This will be a wonderful addition to Cle Elum to provide a sought-after <br />destination for visitors. Rest areas have places to relieve their dogs, but no place to stretch their <br />legs and get some energy out. <br />There are many elements to the project that have begun, but many more to make it fully capable <br />to serve everyone properly. Drinking fountains would be a great addition. But to truly know <br />how the park will be used we need to be able to track visitors. Camera systems would be the <br />best way to do that as well as monitor vandalism (this is a self-serve park). Signage is the key and <br />comes with a price tag as well. I believe there will be an online presence for individuals to search <br />for the location, but nothing explains where something is better than large signs visible to those <br />driving by. <br />lf there is any way for addition funds, we would be eternally grateful. There are many people <br />that have been working tirelessly over the years to get this project moving forward and it is <br />happening! We are so excited as a community, <br />Thank you for your time, <br />DeAnna Havertield
