A RESOLUTION
Honoring the life of Mr. Teddy Ray Webb and dedicating a bridge in his memory; and for

WHEREAS, Mr. Teddy Ray Webb has long been recognized by the citizens of this state for
the vital role that he played in leadership and his deep personal commitment to the welfare
of the citizens of Georgia; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Webb was born in Hartwell, Georgia, on October 26, 1956, the beloved son
of Ira and Carol Ann Webb; and
WHEREAS, he hailed from a family who dedicated their lives to bridge construction in
Georgia and visited worksites at a young age with his grandfather, father, and uncles; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Webb began his career in bridge construction in 1974, and during his
illustrious 50 year career he traveled the state and trained numerous workers in a variety of
vocational skills related to construction; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Webb worked diligently on projects within his community, including
renovations to ball fields and concession stands for the Johnson County Recreation
Department and renovations to the press box and weight room of Johnson County High
School; and
WHEREAS, he was a person of magnanimous strengths with an unimpeachable reputation
for integrity, intelligence, fairness, and kindness, and by the example he made of his life, he
made this world a better place in which to live; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable and distinguished
Georgian be recognized appropriately by dedicating a bridge in his memory.

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution would name the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge, honoring his 50-year career in bridge construction.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution from the Georgia General Assembly honors Teddy Ray Webb, a Georgia native who spent 50 years working in bridge construction and training other workers in construction skills. It also recounts his community work, including renovations to ball fields, a concession stand, and a school press box and weight room.
The operative part of the resolution dedicates the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County as the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge. It directs the Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and it directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Webb's family and to the Department of Transportation.

### What it does

- Dedicates the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County as the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge.
- Directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the bridge's new name.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Webb's family and the Department of Transportation.
- Recites the biographical and career history of Teddy Ray Webb as the basis for the honor, with no other legal effect.

### Who it affects

This mainly affects the Georgia Department of Transportation, which must install and maintain new signage, and the family of Teddy Ray Webb, who receive formal recognition. Drivers on State Route 7 in Crisp County will see the bridge's new name on posted signs.

### Why it matters

The resolution creates no new rules, funding, or penalties; it is a ceremonial honor. Its practical effect is limited to renaming a specific bridge and requiring the Department of Transportation to post signs reflecting that name.

### Key provisions

- The resolving clause dedicates the bridge on State Route 7 over Cedar Creek in Crisp County as the Teddy Ray Webb Memorial Bridge.
- A further resolution clause authorizes and directs the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate signs for the dedication.
- A final clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to Webb's family and the Department of Transportation.
