3)Requested that the California Department of Transportation
(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.
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: Officer Shaun Richard Diamond was a 16-year law
enforcement veteran, having worked for the Los Angeles and
Montebello police departments before joining the Pomona Police
Department (PPD) in 2006. Officer Diamond served for six years
as a member of the PPD's SWAT unit and shared his expertise
training new recruits as a Field Training Officer. In his most
recent assignment to the Pomona Downtown District Enforcement
Team, Officer Diamond acted as a liaison to the business
community and participated in community outreach efforts
including Special Olympics, Tip-A-Cop, and K-9 and SWAT
demonstrations for local school children. On October 29, 2014,
Officer Diamond succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained the
previous day while performing his duties as a member of the SWAT
unit at the age of 45, leaving behind his mother and two
children. This resolution designating a portion of I-10 in his
honor acknowledges the significant role Officer Diamond played
in his community.
