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.
