We are looking at approximately $25,000 to $30,000 for the retrofit of the skate park itself and that's at prevailing wage, and we are looking at an additional couple thousand dollars in architectural design fees.

We can rationalize and think about what it is. We know what thunder and lightening is, but a dog doesn't.

One of the major plans is to work on the aesthetics of the pool to make it more visually appealing to people.

We are no longer going to throw the doors open at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. and close it at dusk, it will actually be staffed and we are going to be conducting more of a recreational program. We are feeling pretty confident through the dual usage and the monitoring we can actually increase use at that park.

The loud noise is very scary, and if you have a dog that's very scared of a gun shot, thunder sounds very similar.

A zero-depth entry point would be something to make the pool more accessible to handicapped people. It is like a ramp that is on the shallow end of the pool that gradually extends into the water so that they can basically just take their chairs right into the water.
