Original Committee Reference: TRANS.
SUMMARY: Designates a specific bridge on United States Highway
(U.S.) 101 in Mendocino County as the "Jesse D. Pittman S01 Navy
SEAL Bridge."
The Senate amendments make a technical, non-substantive change to

(Caltrans) the responsibility of operating and maintaining state
highways. This includes the installation and maintenance of
highway signs.

Page 2
1)Recounted the lifetime accomplishments Jesse D. Pittman, a
committed family man and decorated veteran.
2)Designated bridge number 01-0165 on U.S. 101 in Mendocino County
as the Jesse D. Pittman S01 Navy SEAL Bridge.
3)Requested that the Caltrans determine the cost of appropriate
signs, consistent with the signing requirements for the state
highway system, showing the special designation 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: Born in Arcata, California, Mr. Pittman joined the Navy
in 2005 to become a Navy SEAL commando. Mr. Pittman died while
serving in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, when a helicopter
transporting Mr. Pittman and 30 other American troops was shot
down. This resolution designating bridge 01-0165 on U.S. 101 in
honor of Jesse D. Pittman acknowledges the significant role Mr.
Pittman played in his community and for his country.
