Initiating an Inventory and Community Process Regarding Public Assets Named for César Chavez. (Mayor, Ortiz, Tordillos, Candelas, and Campos)
...Recommendations
Direct the City Manager, in coordination with the City Clerk and City Attorney, to return to City Council with:
1. An inventory of all City-owned land, facilities, amenities, and other public art and assets in San José named after César Chavez, or otherwise bearing his name or likeness;
2. To the extent feasible, an inventory of other assets with City designation or public sites within San José that are overseen by another local jurisdiction or public agency and are named after César Chavez;
3. An assessment of the applicable legal authority, governing policy, and procedural pathway for renaming each identified site;
4. Recommendations for a community engagement process - modeled where appropriate on existing City naming processes, and prioritizing the Latino and farmworker communities - to consider potential renaming actions in a trauma-informed, inclusive, and culturally respectful manner; and
5. Initiate any administrative processes under the City Manager’s authority for name changes, where appropriate.
