Section 2. Section 11-117 of The Code of The City
of Seal Beach is hereby repealed.
Section 3. 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 ?olice, fire

I
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 Julv 1, 1978. It is
therefore imperative chat 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 4. 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 and, in addition thereto, Ordinance No.
104fof the City of Seal Beach is held to be invalid or if
the provisions of Section 1 thereof relating to the imposition
of a business license tax are held to be invalid, then the
provisions of Sections 11-117 and 15A-l of The Code of the
City of Seal Beach, California, as they existed prior to the
adoption of this Ordinance shall thereupon take effect.
