• The San Mateo City Council will hold a study session Tuesday to discuss infill material options for the installation of synthetic turf at Los Prados Park. After concerns arose regarding adverse health effects of using recycled tires as infill, the council opted to hold a study session to review current data and alternate materials.
The council will consider crumb rubber, which is currently budgeted and anticipated to cost around $2.28 million; EPDM or manufactured virgin rubber, which would entail an additional unfunded cost of $26,637; and TPE or a manufactured plastic and rubber combination, which would have an unfunded additional cost of $473,637.
The study session begins 6 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 17 at City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave. For more information about the Los Prados Synthetic Turf Project visit www.cityofsanmateo.org.
