Impact analysis
Minor operational changes with modest signage costs; ongoing turf maintenance evaluation continues.
Dog owners whose pets don't fit the big/small mold — calm big dogs and rambunctious small dogs can now pick the right zone.
Town taxpayers may bear costs serving a user base that is roughly half non-resident.

Parks and Recreation Meeting
Sahuarita's two dog parks may switch from small/large-dog sides to active/passive zones, protecting turf and making rules police can actually enforce. New signage comes back to the commission in October, with implementation targeted for spring.
Parks and Recreation Meeting
Budget requests include an update to the parks master plan with a strategic roadmap, evaluations of indoor spaces, and an investment-grade audit of facilities — a funding tool Sierra Vista used to unlock $15 million in improvements.
