SECTION 4' Experience with other swimming pools open to the public in the Southern California area has demonstrated that rough- ness in and about swimming pools, running upon the cement aprons adjoining swirmning pools, diving in the shallow portions of swimming pools, are consistently productive of serious bodily injury and death, and have occasioned many disabling injuries and many deaths from drowning. Such experience has further established that swim- ming in an unsupervised pool after hours, when the same is closed to the public and entirely unsupervised by lifeguards, greatly in- creases the likelihood of death from drowning. The City is about to open the Santa Ana Municipal Swimming Pool to the public, and there now exists in the City no Ordinance regulating its use in the interests of the safety of the public using the same. There- fore, in o~der to prevent or minimize the likelihood of tragic death or serious accident in and about said swimming pool, it is imperative that this Ordinance take immediate effect upon its publication. This Ordinance is therefore declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, and shall become effective immediately upon publication; and the City Council hereby declares that should any Court declare this declaration of reasons for urgency to be inadequate or insuf- ficient to Justify this Ordinance as an emergency Ordinance, that it would have passed this Ordinance in any event, and that the same shall then be deemed to take effect from and after thirty days after its adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana at its regular meeting held on the 2nd day of July, 1956.
