	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 132, Nielsen. John F. Reginato Boat Ramp.
   This measure would designate the South Bonnyview Boat Ramp in the
City of Redding as the John F. Reginato Boat Ramp. The measure also
would request the City of Redding, after consulting with the
Department of Fish and Game, to incorporate the placement of new
signs that reflect that special designation into the impending
rehabilitation of the boat ramp so long as the new signs do not
increase project costs.



   WHEREAS, In 1949, John F. Reginato became General Manager of the
Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association (SCWA), which promotes tourism
and recreation in the far northern counties of the state, and led the
SCWA for 41 years; and
   WHEREAS, Mr. Reginato tirelessly promoted the natural beauty and
abundant recreational opportunities in the area and is credited with
introducing houseboating to the west; and
   WHEREAS, While leading the SCWA, Mr. Reginato gained a deep
appreciation for the important role of public lands in north state
tourism; and
   WHEREAS, In 1962, Mr. Reginato was appointed to the federal Bureau
of Land Management's statewide advisory board, a predecessor of
Bureau of Land Management Resources Advisory Councils and, after a
decade of service, became the first recreation interest group member
to chair the council; and
   WHEREAS, Mr. Reginato later served on the Ukiah District Advisory
Council and the Northwest California Resource Advisory Council,
chairing both and accumulating over 40 years of service as an adviser
to the federal Bureau of Land Management; and
   WHEREAS, Mr. Reginato served eight years on the California Small
Craft Harbor Commission, including serving a term as the chairman.
During that time he secured approval and funding for the Lake Redding
and Turtle Bay Boat Ramps. Later he championed and lobbied for
support and funding for the South Bonnyview Boat Ramp, which is
state-owned property under a management agreement with the City of
Redding; and
   WHEREAS, Mr. Reginato was an accomplished outdoor photographer and
many of his photographs appeared in magazine articles promoting
north state tourism; and
   WHEREAS, In 1990, Mr. Reginato received a special award from
Governor Deukmejian for his contribution to the promotion of tourism
in California; and
   WHEREAS, In 1998, Mr. Reginato was among 44 individuals inducted
into the California Tourism Hall of Fame; and
   WHEREAS, In 2004, Mr. Reginato was inducted into the California
Outdoors Hall of Fame; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the South Bonnyview Boat Ramp in the City of
Redding is hereby designated as the John F. Reginato Boat Ramp; and
be it further
   Resolved, That the City of Redding, after consulting with the
Department of Fish and Game, is requested to incorporate the
placement of new signs that reflect this special designation into the
impending rehabilitation of the boat ramp so long as the new signs
do not increase project costs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the City of Redding and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
