"the soccer fields should be the city's premier location for playing in four games like middle and high school championships. they should be the best the city should produce and they should be grass. there are two premier baseball locations. the city has a stadium where the high school football championship is played. these fields are all grass and they are in great condition because the city invested resources, money, and gardeners to keep them that way. the city's premier soccer field should be like all of these other spots, made of grass. last year, the fines for paving over from europe have increased from $100 per day to $250 a day. this continues until the home under brings their home into compliance. if the soccer fields are converted into artificial turf, it would be the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of homes have in their yards paved over. there are proposals to have the gardners take care of this." we hope that this alternative to natural grass fields would be considered. >> thank you. it is there additional public comment? seeing none, this meeting is adjourned. >> hello. 9 judge terri l. jackson. the court is now r
