But I would still like to put in my two cents. As hard as it is to turn down free money, this city cannot afford this artificial turf project, in my opinion. I can understand that no politician wants to be put in a position appearing to be the Grinch who stole Christmas (before youth sports activists.) But please consider the following: 1. At some point in time, maybe 10 years or so, replacement. (If ignored for too long, it may become a hazard.) that artificial turf will become worn out and need 2. What if the economy 10 years from now is not so great? That future council will have then inherited a PROBLEM. (From you folks) 3. If at that point they feel compelled to go back to grass, they still have to relocate that worn out plastic to a landfill (lousy ecology) and then wait 12-18 months for the new sod to get what they call "established" such that it can bear heavy sports traffic. Which would mean shutting down that field for a year or more. Ouch! 4. As a practical matter, you are locking in future councils to a larger operating "nut." Whatever annual savings are achieved will be more than offset by each 10 year balloon. Al Melone CC -10 Biennial Review of City's Conflict of Interest Code Revised to add the Senior Commission.
