URGING THE GOVERNOR TO INCLUDE LEGISLATION PROVIDING
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STATE COLLEGE IN SAN MATEO
COUNTY IN HIS PROCLAMATION CALLING THE 1964 EXTRAORDINARY
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame,
California, that:
WHEREAS, legislation for the acquisition of a site and
the location of a State College within the County of San Mateo,
although passed by both houses of the state legislature in the
1963 regular session of the legislature, was not signed into
law; and
WHEREAS, this City Council is informed of the need for such
an educational facility within the County of San Mateo and has
been advised that the County of San Mateo will, alone, produce
approximately 8500 high school graduates each year and thus
provide students sufficient in number to support a four-year
State College; and
WHEREAS, it is evident that the two State Colleges in ad-
jacent counties, i.e., San Jose State College and San Francisco
State College, have each reached their capacity in expansion
and, therefore, afford no solution to the problem of the in-
creased number of students from San Mateo County and neighboring
counties; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of State Colleges has recog-
nized the great need of such an educational facility in San Mateo
County by assigning to said county a first priority classifica-
tion for new facilities and has recommended, in fact, that such
a facility should have been commenced in 1963; and
T-MFRFAS, the present insufficiency of four-year college
educational facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area is clear
- 1 -
and apparent, and since construction of a college facility or-
dinarily endures five years from date of commencement of construc-
tion;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, FOUND, ORDERED AND
DETERMINED as follows:
1. That the Honorable Edmund G. Brown as Governor of the
State of California is hereby urged to include in the Proclamation
for the 1964 Extraordinary Session of the Legislature an item
providing for the site acquisition and construction of a four-
year State College to be located in San Mateo County.
2. That the City Clerk of the City of Burlingame be, and
he is hereby, authorized and directed to send certified copies
of this Resolution to Edmund G. Brown, Governor of the State of
California, to Senator Richard J. Dolwig, and to Assemblymen
Carl A. Britschgi and Leo J. Ryan.
