The resolution is a recommendation, not a direct ban or funding change. It asks local decision-makers to avoid using the Open Space Trust Fund for artificial turf and instead invest in natural grass fields, citing heat, injury, chemical exposure, microplastic, PFAS, and stormwater concerns. The commission also allowed a downtown flood analysis to be presented to the Flood Mitigation Committee.
