COUNCILMEMBER MIKE CARROLL MEETS WITH ORANGETREE RESIDENTS It was a pleasure to meet with the Board Members and President of the Orangetree Master Home Owners Association, the Orangetree Patio Home Owners Association, and Orangetree residents earlier this week regarding a proposed dog park. The City was working to relocate a dog park to their neighboring Oak Creek Community Park when residents of Orangetree reached out to my office and scheduled time to meet with me to express their concerns. I am working with City Staff to ensure the new dog park is relocated (if at all) to a site that is acceptable to our residents. Getting your input is key to my role as your Councilmember, so it is important I hear from you if you ever have any questions. To contact my office, click here.
