Bill > ACR109

This concurrent resolution honors Officer Gonzalo Carrasco, Jr., a Selma Police Department officer who tragically died in the line of duty on January 31, 2023, by designating a specific stretch of State Highway Route 43 in Selma as the Officer Gonzalo Carrasco, Jr., Memorial Highway. The resolution covers a highway segment approximately 1.968 miles long, running from East Mountain View Avenue to the junction of State Highway Route 99, and requests the Department of Transportation to create and install commemorative signs, with the critical condition that the signs' cost must be fully covered by donations from non-state sources. The resolution provides context about Officer Carrasco's background, noting that he was a 24-year-old local who pursued his law enforcement dream, serving first as a police explorer and volunteer before being sworn into the Selma Police Department in 2021, and highlights his reputation as an enthusiastic and friendly officer who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his community. The resolution also ensures that copies of the memorial designation will be distributed to the Transportation Director and other appropriate parties.
