<br />112. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2000- 210 R <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN <br />MARCOS SUPPORTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TEXAS SCIENCE <br />AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN SAN MARCOS; AND DECLARING AN <br />EFFECTIVE DATE. <br /> <br />RECITALS: <br /> <br />1. Dr. Thomas Arsuffi, President of the Texas Academy of Science, has presented the City <br />Council with a proposal for the establishment of a Texas Science and Technology Center in San <br />Marcos, and has requested that the City Council express its support for the proposal. <br /> <br />2. The future well-being of the State is heavily dependent on our ability to provide scientists, <br />engineers, and technicians for the State's industries, businesses, medical institutions, colleges and <br />universities. <br /> <br />3. These professions require rigorous and lengthy training, and this fact, together with <br />common attitudes about careers in science may interfere with attracting young Texans to these <br />professions. <br /> <br />4. A Texas Science and Technology Center in San Marcos, including an interactive, hands- <br />on museum, a program of conferences and workshops, traveling exhibits, and a home base for the <br />Texas Academy of Science, would provide a place Texas youth could visit to foster an interest in <br />science and science-related careers, would contribute to broader public understanding of science, <br />would serve as a resource for Texas teachers and students, and would foster creative interaction <br />among Texas scientists. <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, <br />TEXAS: <br /> <br />PART 1. The City Council supports the establishment of the Texas Science and Technology <br />Center in San Marcos. <br /> <br />PART 2. This resolution is effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. <br /> <br />ADOPTED on October 23, 2000. <br /> <br />~ . <br />h ~4t( ~/\.- <br />Dav!
