G. Current Business
a)
Discussion surrounding the creation of a dog park in Mansfield
Secretary Knechtel advised the members that the parkette in Mansfield is currently
zoned residential. This does not hamper the development of a dog park, but it will be
included in the zoning updates to be completed by year end. The members highlighted
the 10 properties that would be affected by the development of this park. The members
questioned whether the development of a dog park is needed within Mansfield, and it
was agreed that there were no le,ash free dog parks in close proximity to Mulmur.
Members agreed it would be beneficial to approach other townships to find out the
extent of costs and maintenance required to maintain a dog park. Members highlighted
the issue of receiving approval from the surrounding residents and the issue of parking.
Direction was given to the secretary to contact surrounding municipalities to inquire
about the maintenance responsibilities of a leash free dog park. A costing estimate for
fencing and research of the minimum land size requirements are also to be provided for
the next meeting.
b)
Discussion surrounding improvements at the Honeywood Park and
Arena
Member Hayes gave an update on the Canada 150 lnfrastructure Grant the Township is
applying for. The deadline for submissions is June 9, 2015. Member Hayes explained
the suggestion to remove the front portion of the arena to make the facility one story and
accessible to all. Members supported the idea put fonrvard by Member Lowry to clean
and rehang and illuminate the pennants.
Member Hayes was approached with the concern that renovations to the booth will not
be completed in time for the July 1"i Strawberry Supper.
Past NDRCC minutes outline that renovations and improvements to the arena have
a topic of discussion for quite some time. The current facility does not
accommodate for a chair lift, and would therefore require an elevator to make the
second floor accessible. Members discussed the cost of installing and maintaining an
elevator, and used the Horning's Mills Hall as an example. Member concluded that no
progression can be made until funding is secured. ln the meantime, cosmetic upgrades
been
are being made to freshen up the facility. Members would like to look at blue prints of the
arena at the next meeting.
Members also discussed upgrading the cenotaph in Honeywood. There is currently a
vacant lot on the North East corner which they suggested could be purchased or
donated. The new location could host the cenotaph, gardens, benches and mailboxes.
Members would like to discuss the name of the North Dufferin Community Complex at
the next meeting.

c)
Update on the Mansfield Park Facilities
The recreation budget allowed for the purchase of one picnic table which has since been
obtained and put together for installation at the park. The purchase of an additional
picnic table can be included in the 2016 budget if desired. ln addition, the picnic table in
the ravine has been moved back up to pavilion. Members were advised that one of the
horseshoe pits has been dismantled and removed without Township knowledge or
permission.
Staff are to provide an update on the horseshoe pits, removal of the tree stumps and fire
pit in the ravine for next meeting.
d)
Update on the Weekend of Baseball and Hone¡ruvood Beef BBQ
Members did not have any information or knowledge of an update on the Weekend of
Baseball.
Member Hayes is to contact Janice Aldcorn to commence planning for the Honeywood
Beef BBQ. Member Hayes suggested that the committee create a short survey for
people to complete while waiting in line. Suggested questions included age, town, have
they visited the NDCC before and recreational barriers in the Township. Members are to
submit their list of 10 questions to the secretary for next meeting. Members are also
tasked with looking for donations such as Muskoka Chairs to raffle at the BBQ. Members
discussed having space for local businesses, associations and groups to set up
information booths at the BBQ
Direction was given to the secretary to contact local recreationalóusrnesses, groups and
associations to invite them to sef up an information booth at the upcoming Honeywood
Beef BBQ.
Direction was given to secretary to obtain a lottery license for the BBQ for next meeting

Discussion surrounding vacant positions on the Committee (on

Members reviewed the original advertising for positions on the Mulmur Recreation
Committee and determined that there are currently three vacant positions. Members

Good afternoon Roseann
You were en.quiring about our off leash dog park. There is really very little maintenance once the dog park has been
completed except emptying the garbage containers, but that needs to be done in all parks.
We have had very few complaints except some residents want another at the other end of the Municipality.
l've attached our user guidelines and enter/exit signs that we placed as well as a picture of the entrance/exit gates. We
were luck as 3 sides of this location was already fenced so we just need the one side and gates, a few benches
throughout and a couple of garbage containers. The park is in a treed area therefore it is nice even on a hot day.
lf you have any other questions please feel free to ask
Thanks Diane
