RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council consider a proposal to rename Bush Way after
Albert and Ursula Vera and, if desired, direct the City Manager as deemed
appropriate.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At a recent City Council meeting, the City Council directed the City Manager to place
on a future agenda a discussion of a proposal to rename Bush Way after Albert and
Ursula Vera.
In preparation for this item, staff reviewed City Council Policy Statement 2006-01
“Naming of City Facilities” (attached hereto). In accordance with City Council Policy
2006-01, the proposed naming would fall under the category of a commemorative
naming, for which the individual(s) would need to have made “extraordinary
contributions to the community, which have been consistent and continuous over a
considerable period of time” and “be deceased for a period of at least one year prior
to the initiation of the naming process.” The request seems to comply with those
criteria.
Should the City Council direct the City Manager to proceed, staff will schedule an
item for an upcoming City Council meeting where the City Council would formally
consider renaming Bush Way in honor of Albert and Ursula Vera. Preparation for
that item would include providing notice to those residents, businesses, and property
owners within a 500 foot radius of Bush Way, and formally contacting the Vera
family to confirm their interest and availability to participate and attend the future City of Culver City, California

meeting. Staff has contacted Mr. Albert Vera, Jr. and extended an invitation to
attend tonight’s meeting.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
Discussion of this item does not create a fiscal impact to the City. However, should
the City Council direct the City Manager to move forward with this process, it is likely
there would be costs involved in the renaming process, including the cost of new
street signs. Estimates of such costs would be provided in any future staff report the
City Council would require.
