ORDINANCE NO. NS-1199 PAGE TWO welfare that this ordinance be adopted as an emergency measure. The facts constituting the emergency are: The Governmental Conflicts of Interests Act became effective on January 1, 1974. This ordinance is promulgated under the authority of Section 3704 of that Act. It requires initial compliance not later than the April 15, 1974 date required for officials named in the Act. That compliance date is necessary to eliminate con- fusion on the part of reporting officials and to insure that the public is fully informed of the information required to be disclosed at the earliest possible date for all reporting offi- cials in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided. In order to advise the reporting officials of their responsibili- ties in sufficient time that they may compile the information necessary for complete and accurate reports consistent with the intent of the State Act, it is necessary to make this ordi- nance effective i~ediately. This will prevent inadvertant violations of the Act and provide maximum protection of the public interest. SECTION 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the deci- sion of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, clauses, phrases or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. SECTION 5: The Clerk of the Council shall certify to the passage of this ordinance and cause the same to be published in some daily newspaper printed and published in the City of Santa Ana.
