	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 79, McGuire. Trione Annadel State Park.
   This measure would request that the State Park and Recreation
Commission, working with the Department of Parks and Recreation,
rename Annadel State Park in the County of Sonoma as Trione Annadel
State Park and, upon the receipt of donations from nonstate sources
sufficient to cover the cost, install new signs reflecting the name
change.



   WHEREAS, Annadel State Park, located in the historic Valley of the
Moon, an area popularized by author Jack London, became a state park
in 1971, and includes over 5,000 acres of rolling hills, seasonal
streams, meadows, trails, and woodlands, all located near a major
metropolitan area in Sonoma County; and
   WHEREAS, The Sonoma County Regional Parks department serves the
social, cultural, and outdoor recreation needs of the people of
Sonoma County through the operation and maintenance of 49 regional
parks and has assisted the state in serving the park needs of
citizens statewide with the operation and maintenance of Annadel
State Park; and
   WHEREAS, Annadel State Park in Sonoma County, originally named the
Annadel Ranch State Park, is one of the most widely used parks in
the state parks system; and
   WHEREAS, Henry Trione was a long-term resident of Sonoma County
before his death at the age of 94 years and was a true "Renaissance
Californian" who created a legacy across Sonoma County and the entire
north coast region; and
   WHEREAS, Henry Trione's most significant and enduring contribution
to Sonoma County and the State of California is widely acknowledged
to be the creation of Annadel State Park in a wooded wilderness area
overlooking the Santa Rosa plain that was slated for residential
development; and
   WHEREAS, It is widely recognized that Annadel State Park would not
exist today were it not for the personal tenacity of Henry Trione
and his initial personal contribution of $1 million to preserve the
5,000-acre property; and
   WHEREAS, Henry Trione's actions to create Annadel State Park are
remarkable because they occurred long before the importance of such
public spaces closely linked to urban development was widely
understood; and
   WHEREAS, In 2012 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, The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and the Santa Rosa
City Council have each voted unanimously to urge the State of
California to similarly recognize Henry Trione and his achievements
with respect to Annadel State Park, 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 State Park
and Recreation Commission, working with the Department of Parks and
Recreation, rename Annadel State Park as Trione Annadel State Park
and, upon receipt of donations from nonstate sources sufficient to
cover the cost, install new signs reflecting the name change; and be
it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
