The Friends of Chippewa Park is pleading their case to Council, tonight.
The group plans to petition to keep their wildlife exhibIt open, in light of a suggestion made by Councillor Rebecca Johnson last week that the city close the zoo as a way to pare down on budget costs.
In a recent press release, the president of the group called the exhibit a “worthwhile investment of public property tax dollars.”
Council will also hear deputations from the general public for the last time before budget ratification next month.
