Subject: Nov. 15th - Item #14 Potable Water for Turf Renovation SUPPORT
Importance: High
Dear Ms. Mayor & Council Members,
As a former Joint Use Committee Member/Chair and Parks & Recreation Commissioner totaling a decade of service to
this City, I have a historical perspective on this issue.
I will be out of town, so unable to support this ordinance in person, please accept this email in my stead.
DO SUPPORT THE CONCEPT OF THIS ORDINACE for potable water to be used during renovation periods with proper
oversight of usage etc.
Damon Garcia is a perfect example of a deteriorating facility where Public Works has excessive documentation of our
city's failing effort to maintain and grow grass in our climate with recycled water in a renovation period. The particulars
can be discussed for hours on why, but basically nothing helps grass grow like fresh water. The recycled water provided
by the Utilities Department is not at the same level, no matter what they claim is currently available or coming online
with more and more money put into their plant in the coming years.
Instead of boring you with facts (of which there are plenty and I presume staff will include in their thorough report),
please use the following link to view some aerial photos I have personally commissioned for viewing of my colleagues in
the past.

This anecdotal evidence will show you the deterioration pre and post renovation for the past few years since 2013.
Everyone loves pictures.
I do not play soccer, no agenda here, I do not care about Damon -Garcia Sports Complex other than for the love of our
aging, neglected, dilapidated City Park Facilities.
Thank you for your time in this matter. Please email me with any questions or comments.
