EXISTING LAW: Assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating
and maintaining state highways. This includes the installation
and maintenance of highway signs.
FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown, but the measure requests that Caltrans
only erect the appropriate signage upon receiving donations from
non-state sources covering the cost.
COMMENTS: Deputy York was a committed family man and dedicated
to protecting the community he served. On August 14, 1997,
Deputy York was at a beauty salon with his fiancée when two gang
members entered and attempted to rob the business and its
patrons. One of the gang members discovered Deputy York's
Sheriff's badge and fatally shot him in the back of his head.
Deputy York was only 26 years old. This resolution designating
a specific portion of I-5 in honor of Shayne Daniel York
acknowledges the significant role Deputy Sheriff York played in
his community.
