萨城市长宣布投资5000万美元在南萨建体育中心！
（KCRA）Mayor Steinberg calls for building $50M regional sports center in south Sacramento, investing in youth during State of the City address
斯坦伯格市长呼吁投资于青年体育项目，在南萨克拉门托建立5000万美元地区体育中心。
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg on Wednesday called for dedicating a permanent source of funding for programs aimed at young people and announced a plan to build a state-of-the-art, $50 million regional sports facility on newly acquired city land in south Sacramento.
萨克拉门托市长达雷尔·斯坦伯格星期三呼吁为针对年轻人的体育项目提供永久性的资金来源，并宣布一项计划，在萨克拉门托南部新获得的城市土地上修建一座最先进的、耗资5000万美元的地区体育设施。
Steinberg announced the project during his State of the City address at the YMCA at 2021 W Street on Wednesday.
斯坦伯格周三在西街2021号的基督教青年会发表国情咨文演讲时宣布了这个项目。
He described it as an essential part of the city’s tourism strategy, saying it would attract major youth sporting events by offering 16 grass, eight turf fields and a championship field that would be well lit. The 40- to 50-acre complex would include a locker room, meeting spaces and food facilities.
他说，这是该市旅游战略的重要组成部分，它将通过提供16块草坪、8块草坪和一个灯光充足的锦标赛场地来吸引重大的青少年体育赛事。这个占地40至50英亩(约合40至50英亩)的综合体将包括一个更衣室、会议空间和食品设施。
It would be built on some of the 102 acres of vacant land in Meadowview that the city had bought from the federal government for $12 million, Steinberg said.
斯坦伯格说，它将建在vacant land 102英亩的空地上，这些空地是该市以1200万美元从**手中买来的。

Just 13% of Sacramento's parks with sports fields have lighting, according to the mayor. In Meadowview, no soccer fields have lighting and there is only one lighted baseball field.
据市长说，萨克拉门托只有13%的带有运动场的公园有照明。在梅多维尤，没有一个足球场有灯光，只有一个有灯光的棒球场。
He credited Councilmember Mai Vang for pushing the city on the initial purchase of land and then holding hours of listening sessions with community members on how to put it to use.
他赞扬市议员麦旺(Mai Vang)推动该市最初购买土地，并与社区成员就如何使用土地举行了数小时的倾听会议。
The property is close to the Morrison Creek and Meadowview Regional Transit light rail stations. When it was first purchased, the city had said it planned to use it to help people experiencing homelessness and affordable housing.
该土地靠近Morrison Creek和Meadowview Regional Transit轻轨站。当它第一次被购买时，该市曾表示，它计划用它来帮助那些无家可归和经济适用房的人。
Steinberg said Wednesday that more than half of the land could be used for "other economic drivers or more community amenities."
斯坦伯格星期三说，一半以上的土地可以用于“其他经济驱动力或更多的社区设施”。
Asked whether the remainder of the property would still be used for people experiencing homelessness and affordable housing, city spokesperson Andrew Kehoe told KCRA 3: "The city is still considering a portion of the site in the short term for safe parking. No final decisions have been made."
当被问及该房产的剩余部分是否仍将被用于无家可归者和经济适用房时，该市发言人安德鲁·基霍告诉KCRA 3:“该市仍在考虑在短期内将该地块的一部分用于安全停车。目前还没有做出最终决定。”
Steinberg said the city had the opportunity to build an “iconic destination” so kids in competitive sports didn’t have to always travel out of town for top-level tournaments.
斯坦伯格说，这座城市有机会打造一个“标志性目的地”，这样参加竞技运动的孩子们就不必总是跑到外地参加顶级赛事。
The $50 million facility could be funded without any future tax increase by tapping what’s collected from hotel tax revenue, which has bounced back since earlier in the pandemic, Steinberg said.
斯坦伯格说，这项价值5000万美元的设施可以在未来不增加税收的情况下，通过从酒店税收收入获得资金，酒店税收收入自疫情早期以来已经反弹。
“Other cities have used the tax to build these,” he said.
他说:“其他城市利用税收来建造这些设施。”
He said that it's estimated the facility would be booked 30% of the time and attract 70,000 attendees per year. That would result in 51,000 hotel nights and $3.5 million in total tax collections, Steinberg said.
他说，据估计，该场馆的预订率将达到30%，每年将吸引7万名参观者。斯坦伯格说，这将导致5.1万晚的酒店住宿和350万美元的总税收。
Steinberg said that under a conservative growth estimate for hotel taxes, by July 2024, the city could afford another $90 to $100 million for projects that boost tourism.
斯坦伯格说，根据酒店税的保守增长估计，到2024年7月，该市可以再支付9000至1亿美元用于促进旅游业的项目。
He said that leftover money beyond what's used for the sports facility could potentially be used to modernize the Old Sacramento waterfront, an earlier development project Steinberg championed that was shelved when hotel taxes dried up.
他说，除了用于体育设施的钱之外，剩下的钱可能会被用于老萨克拉门托海滨的现代化，这是斯坦伯格早些时候支持的一个开发项目，但由于酒店税收枯竭而被搁置。
Steinberg said the next steps would include a resolution before the council this summer and if all went well, there could be groundbreaking in 2024, with “the dream realized before half the decade is out.”
斯坦伯格表示，接下来的步骤将包括在今年夏天向安理会提交一项决议，如果一切顺利，可能在2024年取得突破性进展，“在五年时间内实现这个梦想”。
Steinberg announced the sports facility after focusing much of his State of the City address on how to protect investments in young people like enrichment programs and job training. He said such activities are unaffordable for many families.
斯坦伯格在发表演讲时，把重点放在如何保护对年轻人的投资上，比如致富计划和职业培训，之后他宣布了这个体育设施。他说，这些活动对许多家庭来说是负担不起的。
He challenged Sacramentans to think about what the city would look like in 2032 and 2042.
他要求大家思考2032年和2042年的城市会是什么样子。
Steinberg said the council would vote in July to put an initiative on the ballot before voters to include a permanent funding source for young people, which would set aside $10 to $12 million a year.
斯坦伯格说，议会将在7月投票表决一项提案，让选民投票决定是否为年轻人提供永久性的资金来源，每年拨出1000万到1200万美元。
Steinberg said that during Sacramento’s last recession, police and fire departments had to take a “painful” 8.5% cut to their budget. But at the same time, the budget for parks was slashed 40% and money for youth activities was cut 67%.
斯坦伯格说，在萨克拉门托上次经济衰退期间，警察和消防部门不得不“痛苦地”削减8.5%的预算。但与此同时，公园的预算被削减了40%，青少年活动的资金被削减了67%。
“That’s not balance,” he said. “Youth funding must be seen as essential too.”
“这不是平衡，”他说。“青年资助也必须被视为必不可少的。”
Steinberg told KCRA 3 before the speech that he was focused on “adult accountability.”
斯坦伯格在演讲前告诉KCRA 3，他的重点是“成年人的责任”。
“We’re accountable to the next generation,” he said.
“我们对下一代负责，”他说。
Asked about the homeless crisis in the city, Steinberg acknowledged that the problem is worse but said the city is “doing more than we ever have.”
当被问及该市的无家可归者危机时，斯坦伯格承认，这个问题更严重了，但他说，该市“比以往做得更多”。
Steinberg said that when he started as mayor, there were less than 100 shelter beds a night. That number is now at 1,100 beds a night from various programs.
斯坦伯格说，当他开始担任市长时，收容所每晚只有不到100张床位。通过各种项目，现在这个数字是每晚1100个床位。
“The truth of the matter is we can’t do it alone,” he said. “We need all of our partners. We’re not a health and human services agency. We don’t do mental health or substance abuse. And so we need a full partnership.”
他说:“事实是，我们无法独自做到这一点。”“我们需要所有的合作伙伴。我们不是卫生和公共服务机构我们不做心理健康或药物滥用。所以我们需要一个全面的伙伴关系。”
He said that dealing with poverty will help address the root cause of homelessness.
他说，解决贫困问题将有助于解决无家可归的根源。
