ANALYSIS: Existing law: The committee has adopted a policy regarding the naming of state highways or structures. Under the policy, the committee will consider only those resolutions that meet all of the following criteria: 1)The person being honored must have provided extraordinary public service or some exemplary contribution to the public good and have a connection to the community where the highway or structure is located. 2)The person being honored must be deceased. 3)The naming must be done without cost to the state. Costs for signs and plaques must be paid by local or private sources. 4)The author or co-author of the resolution must represent the district in which the facility is located, and the resolution must identify the specific highway segment or structure being named. ACR 159 (Salas) Page 2 of ? 5)The segment of highway being named must not exceed five miles in length. 6)The proposed designation must reflect a community consensus and be without local opposition. 7)The proposed designation may not supersede an existing designation unless the sponsor can document that a good faith effort has uncovered no opposition to rescinding the prior designation. This resolution designates the interchange at State Routes 43 and 198 in the County of Kings as the CHP Officer Keith M. Giles Memorial Interchange. It also requests that the Department of Transportation determine the cost of appropriate signage and, upon receipt of donations from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.
