Baby steps!  The volunteer Electrical Engineer had a meeting with two employees from Boulder City on Wednesday of last week (9/1/10).  They actually met at the dog park site for about an hour, we’re told.

There is a transformer conveniently adjacent to the dog park site and that is where the city proposed we hook up our electrical to run the automatic sprinkler systems.

With these suggestions having been proposed BY the city and the decision to handle the electrical this way, we’re now just waiting again for the Engineer to draw up the physical plans on paper for submission.  One would hope that since the city is the one who made the suggestion – the plans will go through the approval process on their end smoothly.  More updates as they come down the pipeline!

Sigh…just wanted to pass along that we’re still waiting for our volunteer electrical engineer to draft up the design of the electrical panel so we can submit it for what we hope will be the last round of approvals and hopefully a permit to begin construction.  This electric panel is what will control the automatic sprinkler of our irrigation system.

As our dog park is being built on a shoestring budget for this level of project, we are totally reliant on volunteers donating their time and skills for the many phases of this project…and so we are at the mercy of their schedules and availability.

We anxiously await some progress on the electrical panel design every day and will pass along the great news when it has been completed and submitted to the city…thanks for your patience!
