SUBJECT: Solano County Deputy Sheriff Hale Humphrey Memorial
Highway
DIGEST: This resolution designates a portion of State Highway
12 in the County of Solano as the Solano County Deputy Sheriff
Hale Humphrey Memorial Highway.
ANALYSIS:
Existing law:
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)If the segment of highway is being named for a specific
individual or individuals, 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 Highway 12 between
Marina Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue in the County of Solano
as the Solano County Deputy Sheriff Hale Humphrey Memorial
Highway. The Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of appropriate signs and, upon receiving
donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect
those signs.
COMMENTS:
1)Purpose. This resolution is intended to honor the life and
service of Hale Humphrey.
2)Background. Hale Humphrey grew up in the New Boston area of
eastern Texas prior to enlisting in the United States Navy.
After completing his naval service, Mr. Humphrey settled in
Fairfield, initially working for the Fairfield Police
Department before becoming a deputy sheriff with the Solano
County Sheriff's Office. On March 15, 1963, Deputy Humphrey
was killed following a robbery at a service station when one
of the fleeing suspects rammed a roadblock that he manned.
At the time of his death, Deputy Humphrey was survived by his
wife and daughter.
