If You Can’t Beat City Hall, Join Them!

I was looking over the agenda for next Tuesdays Tega Cay City Council meeting. The meeting is heavy with 2nd reading ordinances and new business. It maybe a long night.

The Dog Park issue is on the agenda again. The Council’s 30 day wait (reprieve) to get more information about moving the dog park to the future Catawba Park area time is up. It will be interesting to hear an update and how long the process may take.

So in thinking about the past dog park meets and discussions, two individuals that were significant “voices” or advocates in moving the dog park away from their residential area on Newberry Lane were appointed to city committees last month. Jerry Hires was appointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Jim Arnold was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Committee. So the old saying if you can’t beat them join them started ringing in my mind. Of course I am not sure one can say they couldn’t beat “them”. There is a good chance the park will move soon. If the park does moves quickly, Newberry residents will party all night long and even invite the dogs to the party!
