Below is the initial email sent to all of the members of Bellefonte Borough Council on 8 October 2023
Dear Members of the Bellefonte Borough Council,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to formally request the opportunity to present a petition to create an off-leash dog park within Bellefonte Borough at the upcoming Borough Council meeting scheduled for Monday, October 16th, 2023.
The petition, which has garnered substantial support from both residents and dog lovers within our community, has exceeded 400 signatures. This enthusiastic response underscores the significant interest and demand for a dedicated off-leash dog park in our town.
I believe that this initiative aligns with the values and well-being of our community for several reasons:
Enhanced Canine Well-being: An off-leash dog park will provide a secure and controlled environment for dogs to exercise, socialize, and thrive. It contributes to the physical and mental health of our four-legged companions.
Community Building: Such a park fosters a sense of community among dog owners, promoting neighborly connections and camaraderie.
Health and Wellness: It encourages physical activity and engagement among dog owners, contributing to a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Economic Benefits: An off-leash dog park can attract visitors from neighboring areas, potentially benefiting local businesses and stimulating our local economy.
Given these compelling reasons and the overwhelming support the petition has received, I kindly request that the presentation be added to the agenda for the October 16th Borough Council meeting. I believe that presenting the case in person will provide a valuable opportunity to address any questions or concerns, share the vision for a dog park, and discuss the potential benefits it can bring to our community.
Please let me know if there are any specific requirements or procedures to follow in order to be included in the meeting agenda. I am committed to working closely with the Council to ensure a smooth and informative presentation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to the opportunity to present the petition and discuss the establishment of an off-leash dog park in Bellefonte.
Sincerely,
Peter A. Serefine, Jr.
