Information can be found below the agenda.\n\nBackground: The preamble to the motion outlines negative impacts artificial turf can have on individual health and the environment. The motion (including amendments made by the Energy and Environment Committee) outlines reports that City Departments should make to help determine how the City could transition away from use of synthetic turf and artificial grass and towards the increased use of California drought-friendly landscaping. \nWe have an example of a problem field in our area. The two City Parks in Van Nuys (Van Nuys Recreation Center and Delano Recreation Center) have artificial turf playing fields\, which were installed in 2018. Such playing fields are estimated to have a useful life of an average of 10 years. However\, there is an area of the surface of one of the playing fields at Van Nuys Recreation Center where the surface is not level – it has dips that collect water when it rains and that pose a hazard for tripping when dry. Park staff have been told that the only way to “fix” this field would be rip up the field and redo the foundation. Recommend that the VNNC call this problem field to the attention of senior management of the Department of Recreation and Parks\, including the Commission that oversees the department\, and advocate for a solution to be found.  \n\nDiscussion and possible action: Questions to ask the Planning Department staff to discuss during a presentation they would like to make to the full VNNC Board on September 11 regarding updates to the South East Valley Community Plan.\nDiscussion and possible action regarding extending a VNNC welcome to the GALS Middle School\, which took occupancy in June 2024 of at its new campus on 14200 Runnymede.\nCommittee’s planning resources list and topic of discussions (if time allowed):\n\n\n\n\nOrange (G) Line Transit Neighborhood Plan (OLTNP) – Long range planning\nSouth East Valley Community Plans Update  – Updating regional community plans\nTransit Oriented Community Incentive Program – Housing element program\nTransit Demand Management – Mobility and transit tools\nLandscape and Site Design Ordinance – design point system program for Pedestrian-First Design\, 360 Degree Design and Climate-Adapted Landscape and Site Design – DRAFT\nHealthy Streets LA – Bike and Pedestrian Infrastructure legislation passed by voters.\nCity Housing Incentive Plan (CHIP) – housing element rezoning program\nEast San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor (ESFVTC) – construction updates \nSepulveda Transit Corridor – Planning stage\nG-Line Improvements Project – Start of Construction in August\nSurvey LA – Historical Preservation\nSepulveda Basin Vision Plan – Sepulveda Basin vision plan final draft\nVan Nuys City Property – Council File 22-1485   – City council file to research in repurposing 5 city-owned property in Van Nuys\, near Van Nuys Civic Center. \nUrban Forestry (Tree protection) – Urban forestry report.\nRuth Bader Ginsburg Memorial – Purposed memorial at Van Nuys Civic Center\nJohn Hendry’s Corner \nReports from the Mobility Summit\nResearch retail space for VNNC community meetings and displays\nVNNC Planning Summit Part II announcement\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Public Comment on Non-Agenda Items (2 min per stakeholder) \n\n\nCommittee topics to bring at the next meeting.\nAdjournment \n\n  \nENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to the health and environmental risks from polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other contaminants\, the transition away from use of synthetic turf or artificial grass\, transition towards California drought-friendly landscaping\, and related matters. \nRecommendations for Council action\, as initiated by Motion (Blumenfield – Yaroslavsky – Hernandez): \n\nINSTRUCT the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to report with the following:\n\nIn coordination with the City’s Chief Heat Officer and the Climate Emergency Management Office (CEMO)\, a summary of policies regarding synthetic grass or artificial turf in jurisdictions with climate and water supply issues analogous to Los Angeles\, and their heat impacts citywide.\nRecommendations to effectuate a transition away from future installations of synthetic grass and artificial turf citywide.\nIn coordination with the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP)\, and the Department of General Services (GSD)\, an analysis of lifecycle costs (installation\, operation and maintenance) for different types of turf surfaces\, and recommendations to halt future installation of synthetic grass or artificial turf on City-owned property\, including athletic fields\, and a plan to remove and replace all current synthetic sports fields.\nIn coordination with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power\, (LADWP) recommendations for incentives and rebate programs to remove and replace synthetic turf and artificial grass\, and encourage the transition to California friendly landscaping.\nIn coordination with the City Administrative Officer (CAO)\, RAP\, GSD\, and other impacted departments as needed\, report on the budgetary and policy changes needed in order to ensure that all city agencies adhere to the intent of this policy.\nIn consultation with the Los Angeles Unified School District\,The Los Angeles Community College District\, private schools\, and commercial properties\, provide options and recommendations to incentivize the replacement of synthetic grass or artificial turf on school playgrounds\, athletic fields\, and other uses.\nIn coordination with the LADWP\, recommendations to end the practice of watering of synthetic turf and artificial lawns.\n\n\nINSTRUCT the RAP\, and LADWP to immediately begin work on a study that will reveal true maintenance costs needed to keep active recreation fields in good condition and provide citywide access across all districts.

This matter is now forwarded to Council for its consideration. \nRespectfully Submitted\, \nENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE \n\n\n\nMEMBER\nVOTE\n\n\nYAROSLAVSKY:\nYES\n\n\nMCOSKER:\nYES\n\n\nBLUMENFIELD:\nYES\n\n\nDE LEON:\nABSENT\n\n\nRAMAN:\nYES\n\n\n\nEV 24-0602_rpt_ee_06-28-24 \n-NOT OFFICIAL UNTIL COUNCIL ACTS- \nCouncil File 24-6020 \nENERGY & ENVIRONMENT \nMotion \nSynthetic grass\, or artificial turf\, is created by fusing together rubber and certain plastics to create the illusion of lush grasses. In recent years\, many people have installed artificial turf / synthetic grass for purposes of water conservation\, or recreational activity. These artificial fields were so popular\, that in states like California\, state laws were updated to at one point ensure that these types of products were essential in water saving policy. However\, numerous studies have concluded that the use of artificial turf / synthetic grass has several negative environmental impacts. \nArtificial turf is now known to contain harmful substances such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)\, and other “forever chemicals.” In April 2024\, the Biden-Harris Administration\, through the \nEnvironmental Protection Agency\, categorized PFAS and other “forever chemicals” as hazardous substances dangerous to human health. The EPA has concluded that exposure to PFAS may lead to reproductive effects\, developmental delays\, and risks of some cancers. Exposure can occur through inhalation\, ingestion\, skin contact\, and mucous membrane exposure\, including microplastic dust kicked up on artificial turf fields. \nRunoff from artificial turf\, including tire rubber crumbs and other materials used for cushioning\, can cause PFAS and other contaminants to leach into groundwater or runoff into waterways and the ocean\, potentially contaminating drinking water. Additionally\, additional turf contributes to the urban “heat island” effect\, raising local temperatures\, while the City is engaged in other efforts to combat urban heat\, including cool pavement and increasing the urban forest. Artificial turf does not support life\, including insects and birds\, and by depriving underlying soil of water\, air and light\, can kill beneficial organisms in the soil for many years. \nIn 2023\, the State of California enacted SB 676 (Allen)\, which allows local agencies to prohibit artificial synthetic grass (turf) on residential properties\, repealing a previous 2015 state law which had approved artificial grass as a method to save water from irrigation. In fact\, several actions have focused on these types of lawns in recent years\, such as the 2022 Governor’s order which banned the practice of watering non-functional\, or purely decorative artificial / synthetic grass. The Governor’s order provided a potable water statewide estimated savings of between 156\,000 acre-feet and 260\,000 acre-feet per year\, the equivalent of water used by 780\,000 households. Unfortunately\, decorative lawns cannot be recycled\, and are placed in landfills after their use\, further allowing chemical deterioration and material breakdown which can find its way into local water sources. \nTo reduce health and environmental risks from PFAS and other contaminants\, the City itself should transition away from future use of synthetic turf or artificial grass\, and continue to incentivize the transition towards California drought-friendly landscaping broadly. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst to report with: \n\nIn coordination with the City’s Chief Heat Officer and the Climate Emergency Management Office (CEMO)\, a summary of policies regarding synthetic grass or artificial turf in jurisdictions with climate and water supply issues analogous to Los Angeles\, and their heat impacts citywide; e Recommendations to effectuate a transition away from future installations of synthetic grass / artificial turf citywide;\nIn coordination with the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Department of General Services\, an analysis of lifecycle costs (installation\, operation and maintenance) for different types of turf surfaces\, and recommendations to halt future installation of synthetic grass or artificial turf on City-owned property\, including athletic fields\, and a plan to remove and replace all current synthetic sport fields; \nIn coordination with the Department of Water and Power\, recommendations for incentives and rebate programs to remove and replace synthetic turf / artificial grass\, and encourage the transition to California friendly landscaping;\nIn coordination with the City Administrative Officer\, the Department of Recreation and Parks\, the Department of General Services\, and other impacted departments as needed\, report on the budgetary and policy changes needed in order to ensure that all city agencies adhere to the intent of this policy;\n\n    In consultation with the Los Angeles Unified School District\, The Los Angeles Community College District\, private schools\, and commercial properties\, provide options and recomméndations to incentivize the replacement of synthetic grass or artificial turf on school playgrounds\, athletic fields\, and other uses \n\nIn coordination with the Department of Water and Power\, recommendations to end the practice of watering of synthetic turf / artificial lawns.\n\n Presented By: Bob Blumenfield \nSeconded By: Kathy Yaroslavski & Eunisses Hernandez
