" Section 2. This Ordinance is necessary for the im- mediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety. The reasons for the urgency of this Ordinance are as follows: On June 6 , 1978 , the voters of the State of California approved an amendment to the California Constitution which WLS21-22A seriously impairs the ability of the City to raise tax revenues from the levy of an ad valorem tax on property, and in turn provide adequate police and fire protection, and other essential municipal services to the citizens, visitors, commercial establishments, property owners and others in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The potential loss of revenues due to the approval of such amendment would occasion the curtailment of such needed police, fire and other essential I/ municipal services. Such amendment is to take effect on July 1, 1978. It is therefore imperative that the City immediately seek other methods of deriving revenues so as to meet the needs of the City with respect to police and fire protection, and other essential municipal services , thereby preserving the public peace, health and safety. This urgency Ordinance shall therefore take effect upon adoption.
