Ratify letter of support for Assembly Concurrent Resolution 97 (Rogers) - Charlie Barra Memorial Bridge.

PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board of Supervisors adopted resolution 24-094 on June 25, 2024 supporting the renaming of the Russian River bridge to the Charlie Barra Memorial Bridge on State Highway Route 20 in the County of Mendocino.
The Board of Supervisors regularly issues support letters that align with the 2025 Legislative Platform. These letters advocate for adequate and ongoing federal and state funding, timely distribution of resources, increased local authority, and flexibility in administering and providing services.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
ACR 97 would designate the Russian River Bridge and Overhead on State Route 20 (Bridge No. 10-0310 at post mile 33.6) in Mendocino County as the Charlie Barra Memorial Bridge. The resolution honors the late Charlie Barra, a lifelong resident of Mendocino County, veteran, pioneering grape grower, public servant, and community leader. It recognizes his significant and enduring contributions to the community.
The bill also requests that the California Department of Transportation determine the cost of installing memorial signage and erect those signs upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the expenses.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Provide alternative direction.
