A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING PROPOSITION 35
WHEREAS, California's population growth has resulted in the demand for more than $90 billion
worth of highway, school, prison, flood control and other infrastructure improvement projects; and
The need for state and local governments to contract with the private sector for architectural and
engineering services has never been greater, and
A series of successful lawsuits by a group of employees at Caltrans has resulted in effectively
banning the state from contracting with private engineers and architects; and
In order to stop the continuing effort to prevent the state and local government from utilizing
private engineers and architects, Proposition 35 will appear on the November ballot; and
Proposition 35 changes California's laws and allows the state and local governments to contract
with private companies for architectural and engineering services; and
Proposition 35 will save California's taxpayers money by encouraging competition between state
employees and the private sector; and
Proposition 35 requires architecture and engineering contracts to be subject to standard accounting
practices and requires financial and performance audits as necessary to ensure contract services are
delivered within the agreed schedule and budget,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
that it supports Proposition 35, which will simply give California's state and local governments the choice
to hire qualified private sector engineers and architects where it makes sense to d&so - something 49 others
states can already do.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular
meeting thereof held on the 5th day of September , 2000.
