The Commission backed staff’s study on cutting chemical pesticides and encouraged the City Council to take the recommendations seriously. It also said Sunnyvale should not impose a complete ban on artificial turf, but should focus on fields used more than 1,000 hours a year and let primary users help choose the surface. Commissioners also asked for more data on how parks are actually used, because current reservation records do not capture all informal recreation.
