2000-169RESOLUTION NO. 2000R - 169
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM SUPPORTING PROPOSITION NO. 35 ("THE FAIR
COMPETITION AND TAXPAYER SAVINGS ACT INITIATIVE")
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
WHEREAS, the need for state and local governments to
contract with the private sector for architectural and
engineering services has never been greater; and
WHEREAS, a series of successful lawsuits by a group of
employees at Cattrans has resulted in effectively banning the
state from contracting with private engineers and architects; and
WHEREAS, a recent, unanimous appeals court decision has
extended the ban on contracting out specifically to school
districts threatening severe delays in building badly needed
schools; and
WHEREAS, in order to stop the continuing effort to prevent
the state and local government from utilizing private engineers
and architects, an initiative known as ~The Fair Competition and
Taxpayer Savings Act" has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Fair Competition and Taxpayer Savings Act
changes California's laws and allows the state and local
governments to contract with private companies for architectural
and engineering services; and
WHEREAS, the Fair Competition and Taxpayer Savings Act will
save California's taxpayers money by encouraging competition
between state employees and the private sector; and
WHEREAS, the Fair Competition and Taxpayer Savings Act
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 that the City Council of the
City of Anaheim does hereby SUPPORT Proposition No. 35, "The Fair
Competition and Taxpayer Savings Act" for architectural and
