SECTION 5: That notice of the time and place
of holding said special municipal election is hereby given,
and the Clerk of the Council is hereby authorized and directed
to give such additional notice thereof as required by law.
SECTION 6: This Council finds that this

congestion and inadequate sewer and storm-water drainage.

minimized by prompt action to start construction before
labor and material costs escalate. Issuance of general
obligation bonds of the City provides the best possible
method of financing such necessary construction promptly.
In order for such bond issue to be approved by the electorate
at the November 4, 1980 election, this ordinance, calling
for a special municipal election on such date, must be
adopted as an emergency ordinance.
THEREPORE, the City Council declares that this
ordinance shall take effect, and be adopted, as an emergency
measure and is to be effective from the date of adoption as
set forth in the Charter of the City of Santa Ana.
