Res 2579 7/8/1980RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION DECLARING RESOLUTION NO. 2529 TO BE
AN EMERGENCY MEASURE.
WHEREAS, at the time the Board of Aldermen adopted
Resolution No. 2529 on May 20, 1980, such Board determined
that the present sanitary landfill has a remaining life of
approximately six months, and that time was needed to select
a site for a new landfill, obtain a permit from the State
Department of Health, and prepare the new landfill for
operation; that each of these steps, including Resolution
No. 2529 , constituted an emergency on the ground of urgent
public need for the preservation of the health of the City,
as a new landfill is necessary when the old landfill is
exhausted; and,
WHEREAS, although these findings were made, it was not
specified in Resolution No. 2529 that it was an emergency
measure, although in fact it was.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
Resolution No. 2529 was passed as an emergency measure,
and is in fact an emergency measure, on the ground of urgent
public need for the preservation of the health of the City,
by providing a new landfill site where solid waste generated
and collected in the City can be disposed of. Such resolution
shall not be suspended from going into operation while
referendum proceedings are pending.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 8th day of July, 1980.
