The Glendale CDBG Advisory Committee held a special meeting on September 8, 2025, to discuss key funding reallocations and project updates. The primary agenda item focused on a motion to reprogram $1,328,171 from the Pacific Natural Grass projects originally allocated for the program years 2019, 2023, and 2024. This funding is proposed to be redirected towards the Pack at Artificial Turf project.

The committee deliberated on the implications of this reallocation, considering the benefits of transitioning from natural grass to artificial turf, which may offer long-term maintenance savings and increased usability for community sports and activities. The motion was presented as a strategic move to enhance local recreational facilities.

Further discussions included the timeline for the project and potential impacts on the community. The committee members expressed their support for the motion, recognizing the importance of improving local infrastructure for public use.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need for ongoing evaluations of community projects to ensure effective use of funds and alignment with community needs. The next steps will involve finalizing the motion and preparing for implementation of the reprogrammed funds.
