SECTION 2. URGENCY. This ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure
for the inmediate preservation and protection of the~ 'public safety, health
and welfare. The declaration of the facts constituting the urgency is as
follows: The place originally designated in the Municipal Code for the
holding of the regular meetings of the city council is a leased building to
be used for city administrative offices. The operational offices for the
conduct of daily business have not yet been established within the building,
_- and until this occurs, there has been ~le space for the holding of regular
council meetings. However, it has subsequently been determined that after
such administrative offices have 'been established and start. functioning,
there will be insufficient remaining space in wbich to provide a council
meeting room which will be large enough to also acconmodate the full number
of citizens who will be anticipated to comprise the audience at many of
the council meetings. The transition of uses in the aforesaid building is
expected to take place prior to the time it would take for a regularly-
enacted ordinance to be effective. Accordingly, it is necessary that the
place for meetings be forthwith redesignated so that the city council will
be legally enabled to carry on essential public business and services.
