RESOLUTION NO. 78-52
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURES OF MORE
THAN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR MATERIALS, SUPPLIES~
AND EQUIPb~NT WITHOUT ADVERTISING FOR BIDS,
AND DECLARING THE SAME TO BE OF URGENT NECESSITY
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE, HEALTH, AND PROPERTY,
AND DECLARING THE FACTS CONSTITUTING SUCH URGENCY.
WHEREAS, this Council finds and determines that
trash and garbage are not being collected within the geograph-
ical limits of the city for the reason that the employees
of the city's contractor are presently on strike, which strike
is now commencing its third week; that prospects for an early
settlement of said strike appear to be slight at the present
time; that the accumulation of garbage and trash is causing
nuisances by breeding flies, creating offensive odors, caus-
ing litter, endangering thereby the public health, safety
and welfare; and
WHEREAS, it may be necessary for city forces to
be involved in whatever actions may be necessary to reduce
and eliminate such nuisances, and such actions may require
the purchase or rental of equipment, materials and supplies
to aid in disposing of said garbage and trash; and
WHEREAS, because of the urgency of said problem,
time will not permit contracts therefor to be let by adver-
tising for bids, and this Council deems the contracts neces-
sary therefor to be of urgent necessity for preservation of
life, health, and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the foregoing recitals, and each of them,
are true and correct, and this Council hereby so finds and
determines.
2. This Council hereby authorizes the City Manager
to execute such and so many of said contracts in excess of
Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00), subject to a maximum cumula-
tive expenditure of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), as
may be necessary to obtain the materials, supplies, and equip-
ment necessary to enable the city to abate said nuisances,
all without advertising for bids.
