including a chapel, room, building or other space, and appurtenances
thereto, intended to be used for the holding of wedding ceremonies,
for the use of which facilities a fee is charged, shall pay the

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to apply to such facilities
furnished by any bona fide church or religious organization that

Section 2. This Ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for
preserving the public peace, health and safety. The reasons
for the urgency of this emergency measure are as follows: On
June 6, 1978, the voters of the State of California approved an
amendment to the California Constitution 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, fire protection and other essential services to the
citizens, visitors, commercial establishments, property owners
and others in the City of Seal Beach. The potential loss of
revenues due to the approval of such amendment would occasion the
curtailment of certain needed police and fire 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, fire protection, and other essential
services thereby preserving the public peace, health and
safety. This Ordinance shall therefore take effect upon
adoption.
Section 3. If this ordinance is held to be invalid or if the provisions
of Section 1 of this ordinance relating to the imposition of
a business license tax are held to be invalid, then the
provisions of Article II, Schedule of Fees, of Chapter II,
Licenses and Business Regulations Generally, as they existed
prior to the adoption of this ordinance ha 1 thereupon take
effect.
