Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 17, 2012 - Southern California drought and historic sites landscaping expert Glen Dake, Landscape Architect at GDML, is part of a panel addressing the lawn replacement issue facing City Hall after the Occupy Los Angeles encampment was removed. He will explain solutions for replacing the lawn at the upcoming Municipal Green Building Conference and Expo (MGBCE) April 26, 2012. The Expo is Southern California's longest running and largest sustainability and green building event focused on the needs and concerns of municipalities. MGBCE will take place at the Southern California Gas Company's Energy Resource Center located at 9240 Firestone Blvd. in Downey.

The panel he's speaking on titled, Lawn Replacement at L.A. and Santa Monica City Halls: Sustainability, Public Use and Cost Considerations in Renovating Historic Municipal Landscapes, is scheduled for 3:15 pm in Conference Room C. The panel will also address the future of Santa Monica City Hall’s lawn. Both sites face the important question: How can critical water-saving improvements be made affordable while respecting historic preservation rules?

What bullsh*t. I bet I could pick ten Mexicans from in front of Home Depot, stop by the Rent-All place for some tools, and replace that lawn in three days flat..
