	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 78, Salas. CHP Officer Gerald E. Dormaier Memorial
Interchange.
   This measure would designate the interchange at the junction of
State Routes 99 and 166 in the County of Kern as the CHP Officer
Gerald E. Dormaier Memorial Interchange. The measure would also
request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of
appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon
receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to
erect those signs.




   WHEREAS, Officer Gerald E. Dormaier, California Highway Patrol
(CHP) Badge No. 4654, was born June 15, 1938, in Arvin, California;
and
   WHEREAS, Gerald Dormaier graduated from Bakersfield High School in
1955, went on to Bakersfield College, and then joined the United
States Air Force shortly thereafter; and
   WHEREAS, Gerald Dormaier was a member of the Future Farmers of
America poultry judging team in high school and won first place over
17 other judging teams in a San Joaquin Valley poultry judging
contest held at Fresno State College; and
   WHEREAS, Gerald Dormaier was a doting father and had three
wonderful children, Craig, Mark and Valerie; and
   WHEREAS, Prior to joining the California Highway Patrol, Gerald
Dormaier worked in Kern County's oil fields; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Dormaier graduated from the California Highway
Patrol Academy in 1966, and during his 14 years with the CHP, served
in the Los Angeles, Anaheim, Tejon, Buellton, Truckee, and
Bakersfield areas; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Dormaier was killed in the line of duty on
December 25, 1980, when he and his partner, Officer Jerry Bean, CHP
Badge No. 6105, were attempting to set up road control for an
overturned propane truck. Officer Dormaier was standing on the side
of the road when a speeding tanker truck came barreling through the
fog. The driver attempted to stop, causing the vehicle to jackknife
near the center divider, striking Officer Dormaier and the patrol
car; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Bean attempted to revive his partner and
administered CPR until the ambulance arrived. Officer Dormaier was
taken to Mercy Hospital, but unfortunately he succumbed to his
injuries; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Dormaier was a hard working, dedicated officer
who loved his job and enjoyed the people he worked with. He was a
very nice man who was known for being a loving and devoted father;
and
   WHEREAS, In recognition of Officer Dormaier's great contributions
and sacrifice in serving the California Highway Patrol and the
residents of California, it is appropriate to designate the
interchange at the junction of State Highway Routes 99 and 166 in the
County of Kern in his honor; now therefore be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
interchange at the junction of State Highway Routes 99 and 166 in the
County of Kern as the CHP Officer Gerald E. Dormaier Memorial
Interchange; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the costs of erecting appropriate signs, consistent with
the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing this
special designation and which shall include the star of the
California Highway Patrol and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
