NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City CouncB of the'City .of Seal Beach does hereby request that legislation be adopted which would limit the requirements for legal publication of ordinances to the manner proposed and which would save many dollars of the taxpayers' funds and permit them to be used in a manner which would provide more benefit to their cities.
