The City of Sacramento has transferred ownership in Del Paso Regional Park to business interests in the past.

(Required.)
Yes- Why wouldn’t they if they have tried before!

When the City of Sacramento proposed and put-in the parking lot off of Auburn Boulevard near the play area, they did so with the promise that parking lot use would be locked dusk to dawn. The businesses along Auburn Boulevard as well as the surrounding residential neighborhoods have urged City Parks to keep their promise and to lock that gate to prohibit the illicit activity that the parking lot attracts at night including vehicle camping. The City of Sacramento has never kept it's promise and continues to allow that activity to this day. How troubled are you that the City of Sacramento will allow the lawless activity to take over this new facility?
(Required.)
I’m very troubled by the thought of what might happen.
I’m hopeful that things will all work out and stay safe regardless.

The criminal history in Renfree Field includes prostitution, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, Drug trafficking, and Gang Activity. The parking lot at Renfree would get so prolific with unlawful activity that it would spill out onto Bridge Road. Bridge Road became a bee hive of this activity so much so that Emergency Responders were not able to navigate the street in order to service a call in the County neighborhood behind the park. Do you think the chances of reopening a new parking lot at Renfree Field will likely result in history repeating itself?
(Required.)
Yes- why would it be any different this time!
No- There’s probably less crime happening these days so it won’t be a problem.

The City of Sacramento is sponsoring a ballot initiative in November for Homeless Shelters which was a compromise with City Businesses that were going to sponsor their own initiative. The “Buffer Zone” clause in that ballot initiative would prohibit playgrounds or playfields within 1000' of a Homeless Shelter. How disingenuous is the City of Sacramento when they propose a grant expenditure that appears to violate their own ballot initiative?
(Required.)
I don’t trust them very much based on this information.
I trust them to follow through on something that they have no real intention of doing- just out of the goodness of their “hearts”.

When the City of Sacramento abandoned Renfree Field, the lawless element took over and burned down the Snack Shack, the bleachers, and removed copper wiring from the lights. A person was electrocuted while taking live copper lines out of the electrical panel. How concerned are you that this history of Renfree Field will repeat itself with the new renovation?
(Required.)
I am very concerned that the same or worse will happen- especially with desperate people looking for ways to make a buck.
I don’t think past failure is a predictor of future behavior

State of California, Prop 68 grants money so that cities and counties can establish or re-establish, “Parks (that) are unique places where children can play, people exercise, families bond, seniors socialize, youth are mentored, cultures share and celebrate their differences, and everyone can connect with nature. Do you think that spending Prop 68 money next to a Homeless Respite Center in Del Paso Regional Park is going to attain these goals?
(Required.)
Yes..I think Prop 68 money is being well spent.
No.. Are you kidding me.
