RESOLUTION =35 1-%17.
;AREAS, the Public School System of the State of California is faced
with the problem of building thousands of classrooms and other school build-
ings to meet its immediate needs, and said construction will cost the tam -
payers hundreds of millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS, a substantial portion of such school construction costs con-
sista of two major items, namely, architects, fees in the preparation of
plans and specifications, and inspector's fees and charges in actual con-
struction owrk; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has heretofore established k Division
of Architecture in the State Department of Public Works to draw all plans
and specifications for highways, bridges, and other construction work handled
by said Department --thereby establishing a precedent;. and
WHEREAS, there is no sound or logical reason why the State Department
of Education should not have its own Division of Architecture for the pre-
paration of plans and specifications for all school construction work; and
WHEREAS, there is every reason why the State Department of Education
should have its own Division of Architecture for the purposes aforesaid;
and
WHEREAS, the suggested Division of Architedture in the State School
System could and should prepare model plans and specifications for various
types of school construction projects to meet the needs and requirements
of every school district in its individual construction projects, and
thereby completely eliminate the need for individual and, in fact, unique
plans and specifications for each and every school construction project;
and
WHEREAS, the aforesaid sets of plans and specifications prepared by a
Division of Architecture could be so varied and numerous as to meet the
needs, wishes, and desires of every school district provided said school
district was reasonable in the matter and was sincerely interested in saving
the taxpayers' money; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of a central source of school plans and speci-
fications at the State level would save millions upon millions of dollars in
school construction costs and is therefore of vital interest to every school
district and every taxpayer in the entire State of California.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. That a Division of Architecture be established in the State Depart-
ment of Education;
2. That said Division of Architecture, so created, have the responsi—
bility of furnishing all plans and specifications for school construction
