Issue Detail: On July 26, 2023, the City of Sacramento entered into a settlement agreement with Calvine & Elk Grove-Florin, LLC, Paul Petrovich, PDC Construction Company, and Petrovich Development Company, LLC settling three lawsuits against the City. The settlement agreement provides that the City will undertake all necessary steps to name the playfield area within Ray Eames Park in Crocker Village the “Petrovich Family Playfield.” Consistent with the settlement agreement approved by Council, the Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment recommends naming the playfield area within Ray Eames Park in Crocker Village the “Petrovich Family Playfield.” Policy Considerations: On February 26, 2008, City Council adopted Resolution 2008-112, establishing a Facility Naming Policy.

The settlement of the three lawsuits constitutes a special circumstance.
Providing parks and recreation facilities is consistent with the City’s strategic plan to enhance livability in Sacramento’s neighborhoods by expanding park, recreation, and trail facilities throughout the City. Park naming is part of the Park Development Process as outlined in the City of
