Section 2. This Ordinance is necessary for the
immediate 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 Constitu-
tion which seriously impairs the ability of the City to raise
WLS21-20A
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
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
I/
urgency Ordinance shall therefore take effect upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 29th day of
June, 1978 by the following vote :
