   WHEREAS, The Sonoma County Regional Parks Department serves the

Parks and Annadel State Park; and
   WHEREAS, In 1972, Henry Trione was instrumental in the creation of
Annadel State Park by personally spending more than $1 million to
preserve the 5,000-acre property from development; and
   WHEREAS, When the Department of Parks and Recreation placed
Annadel State Park on the park closure list in 2012, Henry Trione
made a substantial donation to help keep the park open under the
operation of the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department; and
   WHEREAS, Henry Trione's support made it possible to keep Annadel
State Park open and accessible to the public on an ongoing basis; and

   WHEREAS, Henry Trione also offered a substantial contribution that
created Trione Fields at Tom Schopflin Park, which provides an
outstanding location for children in the community to play soccer and

   WHEREAS, The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors recognized Henry
Trione for his exceptional contributions to Annadel State Park and
other local parks and bestowed upon him the title of "Honorary
Regional Parks Ranger;" and
   WHEREAS, In 2012, the State Park and Recreation Commission voted
to rename Eastshore State Park, an 8.5-mile stretch of the East Bay

environmentalist Sylvia McLaughlin; and
   WHEREAS, The County of Sonoma and the City of Santa Rosa are
supportive of renaming Annadel State Park to recognize Henry Trione
and his achievements while retaining Annadel in the park's name; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature requests that the Department
of Parks and Recreation rename Annadel State Park as Trione Annadel
