  WHEREAS, There are more than 1,500 professional  land  surveyors  in
New  York  State,  and  more  than  45,000  professional  land surveyors
nationwide; and

  WHEREAS, Land surveyors are instrumental in  the  formation  of  the
layout  of  property  boundaries  in New York and the rest of the United
States, providing our citizens the opportunity to  enjoy  the  dream  of
property ownership; and

  WHEREAS,   United   States   Presidents  George  Washington,  Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams, and Abraham  Lincoln  all  served  as  surveyors,
contributing to the historical mapping of the United States in its early
years; and

  WHEREAS,  The  nature  of surveying has developed since the Colonial
Era to include hydrographic surveys, engineering surveys utilized in the
study and selection of engineering  construction,  geodetic  surveys  to
determine the precise global positioning for activities such as aircraft
and  missile  navigation,  and cartographic surveys used for mapping and
charting; and

  WHEREAS, The surveying  profession  in  New  York  requires  special
education   and   experience,   training,   the   knowledge  of  applied
mathematics, other technical and research skills, and passage of both  a
national and state-specific examination; and

  WHEREAS,  The  role  of  the  professional  surveyor  has  been, and
continues to be, integral in the  development  and  advancement  of  our
State and Nation; and

  WHEREAS,   There   are  18  affiliated  regional  professional  land
surveying organizations in New York State that combine to form  the  New
York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors and are affiliated
with the National Society of Professional Land Surveyors; and

  WHEREAS,  New  Yorkers  recognize  the  important  contributions  of
professional land surveyors to the historical and current layout of  the
state   and  country,  and  acknowledge  the  important  decisions  that
professional land surveyors make on the basis of  specialized  knowledge
and expertise; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 17-23,  2019,  as
Surveyors  Week  in  the  State  of  New  York,  in conjunction with the
observance of National Surveyors Week; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
