           DIGEST  :    This resolution names a portion of State Highway  
          Route (SR) 37 in Solano County as the Vallejo Police Officer  
          James Capoot Memorial Highway.

           ANALYSIS  :    Born in 1966, James Capoot grew up in Little Rock,  
          Arkansas, and after high school graduation enlisted in the U.S.  
          Marine Corps.  The Marine Corps stationed him at Mare Island  
          Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, where he met his wife and where he  
          remained after completing his Marine Corps service.  

          James Capoot began his law enforcement career with the  
          California Highway Patrol in 1990, and in 1993, he joined the  
          Vallejo Police Department.  He received numerous medals and  
          commendations in recognition of his courageous police work over  
          his 18-year career.

                                                                     Page

          Officer Capoot died in the line of duty on November 17, 2011.

          Interstate 80 and SR 29 in Solano County as the Vallejo Police  
          Officer James Capoot Memorial Highway.  The resolution further

          the costs.
