A. NATIVE AMERICAN NAME DESIGNATIONS ON THE KERN RIVER
PARKWAY
Frank Fabbri gave a brief overview of this item which was referred by the City
Council at its July 19, 1995 meeting. Mr. Alan Salazar, Vice President of the
Native American Heritage Preservation Council of Kern County, made a brief
presentation to the Committee regarding the importance of Native American place
names for use on the Parkway. Mr. Rich O'Neil indicated that the Kern River
Parkway Foundation supported the concept of an American Indian Native place
name theme for use on the Kern River Parkway to identify specific areas within the
Parkway. The Committee was supportive of the request and directed staff to meet
with representatives from the Native American Heritage Preservation Council and
the Kern River Parkway Foundation to develop a more specific plan identifying the
areas to be named and to develop the type of signage to be used. The Native
American place name theme will also be reviewed by the Citizens' Community
Services Advisory Committee to gain their input. Staff will bring back a
recommendation to the next Community Services Committee meeting.
