SENATE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING

Senator Jim Beall, Chair

2017 - 2018 Regular

Bill No: Hearing Date: 5/15/2018

SUBJECT:

DIGEST: This bill designates the interchange where State Highway Routes 60 and 91meet Interstate 215 in the County of Riverside as the Joseph Tavaglione Interchange.

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 the interchange where State Highway Routes 60 and 91meet Interstate 215 in the County of Riverside as the Joseph Tavaglione Interchange. The Department of Transportation is requested to determine the cost of appropriate signs and, upon receiving sufficient donations from non-state sources, to erect those signs.

COMMENTS

1. Purpose. The purpose of this resolution is to honor the service of Joseph Tavaglione by naming a portion of Interstate 215 after him.
2. Background on Joseph Tavaglione. Joseph Tavaglione has a very long history of distinguished public service to both the Inland Empire and the State of California.

He is also a member of the Foundation Board of Trustees for both the University of California at Riverside and La Sierra University.

1. Inconsistent with Committee Policy. This resolution is inconsistent with the provisions of the committee’s policy on highway designation as Mr. Tavaglione is not deceased. The purpose of this policy is to allow time to adequately reflect on the life and service of the designated individual to ensure the honor is deserved and that the complete body of service is recognized and understood. Two exceptions have been made this decade: ACR 65 (Hall, Chapter 140 of 2013) which named the western span of the Bay Bridge after Willie L. Brown, Jr., and SCR 8 (Portantino, Chapter 146 of 2017), which named a portion of State Route 134 after President Obama.

Related Legislation:

SCR 8 (Portantino, Chapter 146 of 2017) — designates a portion of State Route 134 for President Obama.

ACR 65 (Hall, Chapter 140 of 2013) — designates the western span of the Bay Bridge for Willie L. Brown, Jr.
