This extension of the urgency ordinance is adopted due to an immediate threat to the public health, welfare and safety of the City. The findings of the City Council are as follows: A. Failure to adopt the urgency measure would result in a funding shortfall in the two B&T Districts. B. Such a funding shortfall would cause further delays in construction of the roads and bridges to be funded in these B&T Districts. C. Construction delays would further exacerbate the current traffic congestion in the Santa Clarita Valley. D. The sooner the District fees are in place, the sooner the projects will have a positive environmental effect on the area and residents, as the traffic congestion will decrease. Section 5.
