          SUBJECT:

          CHP Officer Kenneth E. Marshall Memorial Interchange

          DESCRIPTION:

          This resolution designates an interchange on U.S. Route 101 in  
          Humboldt County as the CHP Officer Kenneth E. Marshall Memorial  
          Interchange.

          ANALYSIS:

          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:

           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  
            is located.
           The person being honored must be deceased.
           The naming must be done without cost to the state.  Costs for  
            signs and plaques must be paid by local or private sources.
           The author or co-author of the measure must represent the  
            district in which the facility is located, and the measure  
            must identify the specific highway segment or structure being  
            named. 
           If the segment of highway is being named for a specific  
            individual or individuals, it must not exceed five miles in  
            length.
           The proposed designation must reflect a community consensus  
            and be without local opposition.
           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 U.S. Route 101 and  
          State Route 200 in Humboldt County as the CHP Officer Kenneth E.  
          Marshall Memorial Interchange.  The resolution further requests  
          that the Department of Transportation erect appropriate signs  
          upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the  
          costs.  

          COMMENTS:

           1.Purpose of the resolution  .  By naming an interchange for  
            Officer Marshall, this resolution seeks to memorialize his  
            sacrifice in the line of duty.

           2.Officer Marshall's contributions  .  Born in Vernonia, Oregon,  
            Kenneth Edmund Marshall graduated from Napa High School and  
            attended California State University, Sacramento.  Officer  
            Marshall graduated from the California Highway Patrol Academy  
            in 1963 and served in the Los Angeles and San Leandro Areas  
            before transferring to the Humboldt Area, where he spent the  
            remainder of his career.  On January 9, 1968, Officer Marshall  
            died in the line of duty from an automobile accident while  
            pursuing a speeding motorist on U.S. Route 101 in Humboldt  
            County.  

          3.Consistent with committee policy  .  This resolution is  
            consistent with all the provisions of the committee's policy  
            on highway designations.
