Agenda/Watch: https://glendaleca.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=38713
GEC POSITION on Consent Item D, Artificial Turf Field Replacement at Edison Elementary:
GEC remains against new and replacement artificial turf installations in the City of Glendale for a myriad of health and climate reasons and continues to support real grass sports fields as the healthier, cooler choice, particularly at public parks and schools. In the image below, note the heat island (reddish tint) created at Pacific Park by the current plastic field. Note the cooler area of the grass baseball field. This area of Glendale is 4.5°F higher than city wide average with 77% impervious surfaces.
