The Gaithersburg Mayor and City Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall.

Continued discussion on the development of a synthetic turf field at Lakelands Park will be the focal point of Monday evening's Gaithersburg Mayor and City Council meeting.

According to a letter to the Mayor and City Council from Michele Potter, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture for the city of Gaithersburg:

"During the June 10 Work Session on the synthetic turf field at Lakelands Park, staff was asked to follow up on several topics including recycling, environmental impacts, concussions, competitive bidding, equipment needed with costs and lifecycle, a schedule of depreciation, and a replacement schedule and cost. 

"Staff from Planning & Code Administration, Parks, Recreation and Culture, Finance & Administration, and Public Works have conducted additional research and has prepared this supplemental and comprehensive report."
