SUMMARY : Designates the segment of State Route (SR) 74
beginning at the entrance to the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains National Monument visitor center and extending four
miles to the west as the Roy Wilson Memorial Highway.
Specifically, this resolution :
1)Recounts the life and career of Roy Nelson, a former county
supervisor in Riverside County.
2)Designates the segment of SR 74 beginning at the entrance to
the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument
visitor center and extending four miles to the west as the Roy
Wilson Memorial Highway.
3)Requests the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to
determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the
signing requirements for the state highway system, showing
this special designation and, upon receiving donations from
nonstate sources sufficient to cover the cost, to erect those
signs.
The Senate amendments acknowledge the 22 years of service of Roy
Wilson on the governing board of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District.
EXISTING LAW assigns Caltrans the responsibility of operating
and maintaining state highways. This includes the installation
and maintenance of highway signs.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill was substantially similar
to the version passed by the Senate.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Assembly Appropriations
ACR 109

Committee, this bill would have minor costs to Caltrans to make
and erect appropriate signs; however, those costs would be
covered by donations.
COMMENTS : Roy Wilson, Riverside County Supervisor for the 4th
District, was known to his constituents, colleagues, neighbors,
and friends as an exceptional leader and a selfless, dedicated
public servant in the Coachella Valley. He was also a strong
advocate for conservation of the scenic lands along SR 74,
including the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National
Monument.
Mr. Wilson was involved in ongoing efforts to protect the scenic
beauty and improve the safety of SR 74 as well as promote
involvement of the communities along SR 74 in its betterment.
As Riverside County Supervisor for the 4th District, he was also
instrumental in the successful effort to prepare and implement
the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation
Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan, which will result in
the establishment of a comprehensive and coherent Multiple
Species Reserve System including lands along SR 74 in the Santa
Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
