SECTION THREE: This ordinance is an emergency and

12 The City of San Bernardino does not have sufficient funds
13 at present to enable it to promote business areas and to provide
14 for adequate parking within the business areas. As a result,
15 businesses are moving out of the City and areas which were once
16 a larger source of tax revenue for the City are deteriorating
17 and becoming blighted. This ordinance would provide a means
18 by which the City could raise the necessary funds to be used
19 for the purposes set forth herein in order to stimulate the
20 interest of the public and to keep businesses within the City.
21 In order that this problem may be solved without delay and the
22 City may have the necessary funds for the first quarter of the
23 business year of 1966, it is imperative that this ordinance
24 take effect on April 1, 1966.

30 Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance
.31 and each section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase hereof,
