Cook County Animal Care and Control will begin enforcing the new permit system for dogs at Dog Friendly Areas county-wide even sooner than first reported here two weeks ago. Starting Monday, August 15, anyone using any of the Dog Friendly parks in Chicago will be subject to a fine [$500 per dog, per violation] if an owners' dog is not registered and following the posted rules. A public meeting on this matter has been set for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 27, at Margate Park Fieldhouse, 4921 N. Marine Dr. In addition, the regular board meeting of the Chicago Park District, which will address a broad agenda, will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at 541 N. Fairbanks Ct., Eighth Floor Board Room. Inside will have a reporter at both meetings.
