DIGEST: This resolution designates a portion of Interstate 5 in

ANALYSIS:
The committee has adopted a policy regarding the naming of state
highways or structure. 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.

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 a portion of Interstate 5 between
Newhall Ranch Road and Hasley Canyon Road in Los Angeles County
as the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Shayne Daniel York
Memorial Highway. This resolution further requests that the
Department of Transportation erect appropriate signs upon
receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
COMMENTS:
Purpose. The author introduced this resolution to honor the
life and service of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Shayne
Daniel York.
Background on Mr. York. Deputy York served for two years with
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and was 26 years
old.
On August 14, 1997, Deputy York was with his fiancée at a beauty
salon in Buena Park when two armed men entered and attempted to
rob the business and its patrons. The men ordered Deputy York,
his fiancée, and the other patrons of the salon to lie face down
on the floor. When one of the men found Deputy York's sheriff's
badge, he shot Deputy York in the back of the head. Deputy York
died two days later, on August 16, 1997. The Buena Park and
Fullerton Police Departments later apprehended the two
assailants.
Deputy York was survived by his father, Daniel York; his mother,
Patricia Steele; his stepmother, Mary York; his brother, Brandon
York; and his fiancée, Jennifer Parish.
Consistent with committee policy. This resolution is consistent
with the provisions of this committee's policy on highway
designation.
