Sarah Phelps, a Sonoma County Regional Parks marketing specialist, said, “We're a little disappointed that we weren't contacted before this project started.” The department has reached out to Butterfly — through advocates for homeless people — to ask that work on the project be suspended while officials decide what to do, Phelps said. “I don't think we have a clear solution at this point,” Phelps said. “We know this is an important issue, but it was not approved by us before it started.”
