Lots of excellent comments made by residents this evening who are against the turf project. Dave Franklin was thanking everyone for this night becoming reality. Brian Auer, another member of the Turf Project Task Force and Sports Advisory Board, doesn't understand why any corporate sponsor should be made public. This was after I asked for an accounting of corporate donors and the amounts donated. This really bothers me. Why are corporations' identities being withheld?
I noticed that President Linfante did not ask if there was anyone who did not sign the sheet to speak during Citizen Comments. She did it again after the Public Hearing closed. Thankfully, Kelly Fraasch brought that to President Linfante's attention. Linfante reopened the Public Hearing.
OK, so here is where I go into the vote for moving unassigned funds for the turf project at Middle and Wildcat Fields. Please watch or listen to Kelly Fraasch and her reasons for voting against assigning funds to the turf project. It brought tears to my eyes. Also listen again a little later when Kelly Fraasch reads her letter to the EPA. The motion passed 4 to 1 with Kelly voting against the motion.
And now the vote for artificial turf. The motion passed 4 to 1.
Shark Tank gave a unanimous thumbs down to synthetic turf. It’s worth watching if you attended the meeting this evening — for comfort.
Good night.
Update July 9, 2014 12:53 AM Commission Discussion Session available here.
Commission meeting- up to and including the bids awarded to Vasco available here.
I didn't stay till the end of the meeting.
