          Original Committee Reference:  TRANS.


          SUMMARY:  Designates a portion of State Highway Route (SR) 76 in  
          San Diego County as the Joel Mendenhall Memorial Highway.  


          The Senate amendments make a minor, technical amendment to the  
          description of the highway segment being named.


          EXISTING LAW:  Assigns the California Department of Transportation  
          (Caltrans) the responsibility of operating and maintaining state  
          highways, including the installation and maintenance of highway  
          signs.


          AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY, this resolution:


          1)Designated the portion of SR 76 in San Diego County from East  








                                                                        ACR 4


                                                                      Page  2


            Grade Road to East Palomar Road as the Joel Mendenhall Memorial  
            Highway.


          2)Requested that Caltrans determine the cost of appropriate signs  
            showing these special designations and, upon receiving donations  
            from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.


          FISCAL EFFECT:  According to the Senate Appropriations Committee,  
          pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.


          COMMENTS:  This resolution designates a portion of SR 76 in San  
          Diego County as the Joel Mendenhall Memorial Highway.  An avid  
          outdoorsman, Mendenhall was a 6th generation cattle rancher on  
          Palomar Mountain and the part owner of the Homegrown Cattle  
          Company, Homegrown Meats, My Country Club Hunting Ranch, and the  
          La Jolla Butcher Shop.  He lost his life in a tragic ranching  
          accident in September 2013, at the age of 30.  Mendenhall is  
          survived by his wife Jenna and three young daughters.
