URGENCY REVENUE MEASURE. This ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency measure for the imediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, and a measure fixing an amount of money to be raised by taxation, all within the meaning of Section 36937 of the Government Code of the State of California and Article IV, Section 1, of the Constitution of the State of California. The facts concerning such declaration are: (a) The City of Lodi owns and operates an electric distribution system, presently purchasing electric energy in bulk from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The contract under which such electrical energy is purchased has been modified by the Federal Power Commission of the United States of America and on August 24, 1974 a new and substantially higher rate was imposed by the Company. Lack of additional revenue to the City, commencing on the date on which the higher rate is imposed upon the City, will result in a reduction in the governmental and proprietary services furnished the public by the City to the detriment of the public peace, health and safety. (b) Partial reliance upon electric revenues for the provision of other governmental and proprietary services has made it impracticable to make complete provision for the operation of Municipal facilities in the fiscal year 1974-75 pending determination of electric costs and revenues. Assurance of safe and reasonable service levels requires the adjustment of such costs and revenues at the earliest possible moment. Section 11. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Ordinance is being published one time in the "Lodi News-Sentinel," a daily newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the city of Lodi and shall be in force and take effect with respect to all electric bills for service furnished on and after September 24, 1974. y of September, 1974 City Clerk I/ State of California, County of San Joaquin, ss. -11- I, Alice M.
