Spoke to Council regarding the dog park, stated that there is one already, this isn't a money
issue, it's just $100,000 which is a quality of life, stated that Council should wonder why
people leave Beaumont to go to Lake Charles, Dallas, Austin, etc., they leave because
there's nothing to do in Beaumont, doesn't understand why it's such an issue regarding the
