Conduct Report Form - Sac Valley Spark
( Fill Me in)
Please complete the following form to file a report to Sacramento Valley Spark's (SVS) Conduct Committee. This form is intended to collect information about possible Code of Conduct violations within our community and will be used for record-keeping and to inform any potential followup and investigation, so be as thorough as possible. Anonymous reports cannot be followed up on, but will be retained for record-keeping purposes and potentially referenced during the investigation of related incidents.

All reports are assigned a case lead who will reach out via email to offer support and provide updates. If a report is actionable, the case lead will obtain consent from you, the reporter, about who they can speak to and how much can be shared during the investigation. Once we feel an adequate investigation has been made, the committee will discuss what actions should be taken and send their recommendations to the SVS Board of Directors, who will make the final call on all cases. As it requires a board vote to close a case and take action, please expect this process to take some time.

Important to remember:

 -  All reports are encouraged, although we have limited ability to respond to reports existing outside the scope of SVS. Additionally, we can only investigate first-hand reports, as we want to empower those directly affected and allow them the opportunity to choose if and when they want to disclose.  In order for us to investigate these incidents, the people impacted should contact us directly themselves, if and when they are ready to do so. However, we can document second-hand reports to connect incidents as needed.

- Please note that the committee meets twice a month and it may take multiple meetings to investigate and respond to reports. The committee does not meet for two weeks before and after the Lakes of Fire event. We appreciate your patience during the process.

Anonymous reports can still be useful if they contain verifiable facts and can help indicate patterns, but are limited by our inability to follow up.

Limiting our ability to reach out to witnesses will limit our ability to investigate fully.
Is there any reason we should not talk to other individuals identified in this report or their entities related to them about this incident?
What resolution do you hope for? *
(Examples: No action just informing, Sac Valley Spark talk to other(s) involved, they stay away from complainant, ejecting/banning them) This does not guarantee this action will be taken, however it gives us an idea of the goal you wish to accomplish.
Will you be pursuing legal action?
Sac Valley Spark understands that there are many reasons to not reach out to law enforcement, not doing so will not affect your case being treated seriously by the conduct committee. The Conduct Committee will not pursue legal action, however if you were to do so on your own, all recorded communication received by the Conduct Committee (starting with this report) can be subpoenaed under certain circumstances. The conduct committee can also use any official legal documents in their deliberations with your consent.
Clear selection
It is important to know that while the Code of Conduct Committee and Lakes of Fire will do their best to maintain confidentiality of reports, it is possible that anything reported to us may become discoverable in legal proceedings. *
