California Native American Memorial.

Existing law prescribes various duties for the Department of General Services in connection with development and maintenance of the park around the State Capitol building. This bill would allow the department to be responsible for the planning and construction of a monument in the State Capitol park in honor of the contributions, history, and culture made by Native Americans in California. It would require that the planning, construction, and maintenance of the monument be funded with private donations through a nonprofit foundation to be established. The bill would require the department to prepare a maintenance agreement outlining the responsibility of that nonprofit foundation for the long-term maintenance of the monument due to aging, vandalism, or relocation. The bill would require the department, in conjunction with the Historic State Capitol Commission and that nonprofit foundation, to approve the design, determine the location, review preliminary design plans, and review final construction documents for the monument, as provided. The bill would prohibit construction of the monument until the master plan of the State Capitol Park is approved and adopted by the Joint Committee on Rules, and the Joint Committee on Rules and the Department of Finance have determined that sufficient private funding is available to construct and maintain the memorial.
