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 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
WLS21-12A
police, fire and other essential municipal services. Such
amendment is to take effect on July 1 , 1978. It is there-
fore 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.
