Hello Mesa Dog Freedom supporters, 👋

As we continue our efforts to establish the City of Mesa Basin as an official Dog Park, it's crucial that we coordinate our communication with local officials to make a significant impact. Below is an example letter I have drafted to Councilman Mark Freeman, outlining our request and the strong community support behind it.

I encourage each of you to use this letter as inspiration for your own messages.

TL;DR:

We are requesting that the existing City of Mesa Basin be granted Dog Park status, which requires some fencing. This is a simple request with strong community support, and we are ready to demonstrate this support.

Dear Councilman Freeman,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of a dedicated group of local dog owners who have been enjoying the City of Mesa Basin for many years. Our community has flourished in this beautiful space, fostering positive relationships among neighbors and their pets. However, recent events have highlighted the need for a more formal solution to ensure that this treasured area continues to serve our community effectively.

For years, the City of Mesa Basin has been a peaceful haven where respectful dog owners and their pets could gather. Unfortunately, some disgruntled neighbors have recently voiced complaints that threaten the harmony we've built. We believe these individuals do not represent the majority of the community, who deeply value and respect this shared space.

Win-Win Solution For Neighbors and Visitors:

Rather than merely presenting a complaint, I come to you with a practical solution: we request that the City of Mesa Basin be officially designated as a Dog Park. This would involve installing some fencing to clearly define the area. This simple adjustment would address the concerns of the neighbors while allowing the continuation of the wholesome community engagement that the basin has provided for so long.

The need for an official Dog Park status is underscored by the ongoing enjoyment and usage of the basin by local residents. Granting this status would not only resolve current tensions but also enhance the space for future use. We are prepared to demonstrate the strong support from our community for this initiative.

Thank you for considering our request. We believe this solution will benefit all parties involved and ensure that the City of Mesa Basin remains a beloved and functional part of our neighborhood.

Sincerely,

DavidJohn Wyatt, Frakie Schnauzer, and all the other basin visitors.
