SUBJECT: Larry Chimbole Memorial Highway
DIGEST: This resolution designates a portion of State Route 138
in the County of Los Angeles as the Larry Chimbole Memorial
Highway.
ANALYSIS:
The committee has adopted a policy regarding the naming of state
highways or structures. 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 State Route 138 in the
County of Los Angeles from the interchange at State Route 14 to
47th Street East in the City of Palmdale as the Larry Chimbole
Memorial Highway. The measure also requests the Department of
Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs
showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations
from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.
