architects; and

government from utilizing private engineers and architects, Prop 35 will wppear on the
November ballot; and
WHEREAS. Prop 35 changes California's laws and allows the state and local
governments to contract with private companies for architectural and engineering
services; and
WHEREAS, Prop 35 will save California's taxpayers money by encouraging
competition between state employees and the private sector; and

and enter it into the original book of resolutions.
