Paradise Beach Pilot Archives
On August 6, 2002, Sacramento Dog Owners Group and other
stakeholders went before the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors
to ask that Paradise Beach become a pilot program for off-leash
recreation for a period of two years. It was voted down, with only
Muriel Johnson voting in favor.
We fought hard and our presentation was professional, robust, and
educational. Our thanks to Kim Kuenlen for getting it on the agenda!
