Councilmember requests study on removing fluoride from Glendale’s drinking water
Summary
Councilmember Melner asked to add an item of special interest to examine removing added fluoride from the city’s drinking water; two other council members asked to be added to the item for future workshop discussion.
Councilmember Melner asked that the council add an item of special interest to a future workshop to study removal of added fluoride compounds from Glendale’s municipal drinking water.
Melner framed the request by summarizing public‑health context and noting international variation in community fluoridation practices; he asked the council to “look into the removal [of] addition of fluoride in our drinking water.” Two other council members asked to be added to the item. The mayor acknowledged the request; staff did not take further action at the workshop beyond recording the councilmembers’ interest for a future workshop agenda.
No staff report, budget, timeline or formal motion was made during the workshop; the item will be scheduled for a future meeting if placed on a workshop agenda.
