The City Council hereby approves and provides subject to such regulations as this Council may prescribe that charitable payroll deductions from the salaries or wages of city of Santa Ana employees are available for charitable contributions to that Agency which conducts the principal combined fund drive in the City of Santa Ana, which Agency shall be determined by the City Council based upon the following criteria: The number of charitable agencies operating within the city of Santa Ana which rely on the drive for their support.
