	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 58, Knight. Captain Ted Hall and Engineer Arnie Quinones
Memorial Interchange.
   This measure would designate the interchange on State Highway
Route 14 with the Angeles Forest Highway in the County of Los Angeles
as the Captain Ted Hall and Engineer Arnie Quinones Memorial
Interchange. The measure would also request the Department of
Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing the
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
covering that cost, to erect those signs.



   WHEREAS, Fire Captain Tedmund D. "Ted" Hall first joined the Los
Angeles County Fire Department in 1981 as a student worker, and
graduated from the fire academy in 1983, serving as a firefighter in
Lakewood, Whittier, and La Puente. In 1987, Mr. Hall joined the
department's command and control team of fire dispatchers, and was
promoted to Fire Fighter Specialist in 1988, serving as an engineer
at various locations. He was promoted to captain in 2001, with his
final assignment at Camp 16 in the Palmdale region; and
   WHEREAS, Fire Fighter Specialist Arnaldo "Arnie" Quinones first
joined the Los Angeles County Fire Department in 1998, as a member of
the department's call firefighter program, and graduated from the
fire academy in 2001, serving as a firefighter in Palmdale, Covina,
and La Canada-Flintridge. In 2005, Mr. Quinones was promoted to Fire
Fighter Specialist, with his final assignment as an engineer at Camp
16 in the Palmdale region; and
   WHEREAS, Captain Hall and Fire Fighter Specialist Quinones were
both tragically killed in the line of duty on Sunday, August 30,
2009, during the Station Fire, when their emergency response vehicle
went over the side and fell 800 feet into a steep canyon during fire
suppression activities; and
   WHEREAS, It is appropriate to designate the interchange on State
Highway Route 14 with the Angeles Forest Highway, County Road N3, in
the County of Los Angeles as the Captain Ted Hall and Engineer Arnie
Quinones Memorial Interchange in their memory; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the interchange on State Highway Route 14
with the Angeles Forest Highway, County Road N3, in the County of Los
Angeles is hereby designated as the Captain Ted Hall and Engineer
Arnie Quinones Memorial Interchange; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is hereby
requested to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing the
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
covering that cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit a copy of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
