          SUMMARY:  Designates the interchange of State Highway Route (SR)  
          60 and Interstate 710 


          (I-710) in Los Angeles County as the "Los Angeles County Deputy  
          Sheriff Thomas H. Pohlman Memorial Interchange."  Specifically,  
          this resolution:  
          1)Recounts the life and accomplishments of Thomas H. Pohlman, a  
            sheriff's deputy in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's

                                                                    Page  2





            signs.


          EXISTING LAW:  Assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating  
          and maintaining state highways including 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:  Thomas H. Pohlman was appointed as a sheriff's deputy  
          in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 1973 and  
          served for nearly five years.  Deputy Sheriff Pohlman was killed  
          in the line of duty on April 19, 1978, at the age of 27, while  
          pursuing and detaining a suspect.  This resolution designating  
          the interchange at SR 60 and I-710 in his honor acknowledges the  
          significant role Deputy Sheriff Pohlman played in his community.
