SUBJECT: Detective Michael D. Davis, Jr. Memorial Highway
DIGEST: This resolution designates a portion of Interstate
Highway 80 in Placer County as the Detective Michael D. Davis,
Jr. 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 Interstate Highway 80 in
Placer County at the Horseshoe Bar Road Interchange as the
Detective Michael D. Davis, Jr. 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.
COMMENTS:
1)Purpose. This resolution is intended to honor the life and
service of Michael D. Davis, Jr.
2)Background. Michael David Davis, Jr. was born in Bellflower,
California on October 29, 1971. He moved to Placer County in
