          to the life of Stephen Palmer, Sr., who was a Department of  
          Transportation (Caltrans) Imperial Landscape crew member killed  
          while on the job.

          Mr. Palmer, Sr., was born on November 24, 1946, in Lima, Peru.   
                                                                CONTINUED

                                                                     Page

          In 1964, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served for  
          four years.  Mr. Palmer, Sr. began working for Caltrans in 2007,  
          where he quickly worked his way into playing an integral role of  
          Caltrans' District 11 Imperial Landscape Crew.

          Old Campo Road and Melody Road in San Diego County as the  
          "Stephen Palmer, Sr. Memorial Highway."  The resolution further  
          requests that Caltrans appropriate signs upon receiving  
          donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
