Staff reported that the Santa Ana River Task Force went on a field trip on January
28th to visit various sites along the river that could provide design ideas to enhance
the environmental and recreational opportunities of some of the open space
elements along the river. The areas visited included Katella Ave. to Glassell
(Rubber Dam), Yorba Regional Park, Cedar Grove Park, Hicks/Peter Canyon Trails
& Bikeways, Talbert Park, Fairview Park and Moon Park. A draft report is being
assembled and the Task Force will be considering the adoption of the Vision

Community Room.
4. SANTA ANA STADIUM SYNTHETIC TURF STRIPING
At the last meeting, the Council Committee requested staff to review the possibility
of installing temporary striping on the stadium synthetic turf, review the width of the
lines for football and soccer and review the sharpness of the line delineation.
Staff contacted our consultant and various synthetic turf manufactures to find that
temporary striping (chalking or panting) is rarely done, very labor intensive and can
cause future problems to the turf and drainage system.
Staff shared the regulation requirements for sports fields and indicated the official
line width for football and soccer is 4 inches wide. The sharpness of the line is
dependent on the density of the turf blades. The density may vary depending on
the manufacturer. The manufacturers are pre-qualified and all provide equal or
higher density on their product.
