SECTION 2: The Mayor of the city Council of the City of Santa Ana is hereby authorized, empowered, and directed to execute said amendment for and on behalf of said agency. SECTION 3: This ordinance is declared by the city Council to be necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health, and safety. The reasons for its urgency are as follows: (1) The city and the Santa Ana Fireman's Benevolent Association (FBA) are contractually obligated to amend the City's existing agreement with the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to make certain changes effective July 1, 1990. (2) Pursuant to state law, any amendment to said agreement must be approved and authorized by ordinance of the City Council. (3) Further pursuant to state law, this ordinance could not be adopted until at least twenty days after the adopting of Resolution No. 90-054 on May 21, 1990, by which the city Council gave notice of its intent to amend the said agreement. (4) Said Resolution No. 90-054 could not be adopted earlier than the May 21, 1990 meeting of the City Council because an unanticipated need to update previously obtained valuation/cost data from PERS delayed the lengthy contract amendment procedure by six weeks. (5) Unless adopted as an urgency measure, this ordinance approving and authorizing the amendment to the said agreement would not be effective until after the necessary July 1, 1990, effective date for said amendment, thereby causing a breach of contract between the City and the FBA, as well as incurring a higher future contribution rate to PERS.
