Redding to install the signs upon receiving sufficient nonstate
donations.
FISCAL EFFECT : Unknown. This bill is keyed non-fiscal.

Association, which promotes tourism and recreation in the far
northern counties of the state, as its General Manager for 41
years. In this capacity, he tirelessly promoted the natural
beauty and abundant recreational opportunities in the area and
is credited with introducing houseboating to the west.
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. He later served on the Ukiah
District Advisory Council and the Northwest California Resource
