           SUBJECT  :    Eric W. Rood Memorial Expressway

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution names a portion of State Highway  
          Route 20 in Nevada County as the Eric W. Rood Memorial  
          Expressway.

           ANALYSIS  :    Eric Rood, a native Californian, graduated  
          from California State University, Sacramento, and after  
          enlisting during World War II, served a long career in the  
          U.S. Air Force. He retired from the Air Force as a colonel  
          in 1973.  He then served for 12 years on the Nevada County  
          Board of Supervisors.  During this service, he also served  
          in many related roles, including as president of the  
                                                           CONTINUED

          Regional Council of Rural Counties.

          Supervisor Rood helped to secure funding and advocated to  
          complete the SR 20 by-pass between Grass Valley and Penn  
          Valley, a busy section of highway that area residents  
          consider critical to the economic development of the Penn  
          Valley. 

          Mr. Rood passed away in 1998.

          The author introduced this resolution as a tribute to the  
          life and work of Eric W. Rood, who served as the Supervisor  
          for the 4th District in Nevada County from 1975 through  
          1987.

          This resolution designates SR 20 from its intersection with  
          SR 49 and the intersection of Rough and Ready Highway and  
          Penn Valley Drive in Nevada County as the "Eric W. Rood  
          Memorial Expressway."  The resolution further requests that  
          the Department of Transportation erect appropriate signs  
          upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover  
          the costs.
