maybe confusing and causes unneeded inquiries , the city council

needs clarification and said clarification as contained in this
ordinance is needed immediately and an emergency is hereby de-
clared to exist in order to protect the public health, safty and
welfare and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect
from and after the date of its passage period.
