The city council declares that the license taxes required to be paid by this chapter are assessed pursuant to Section 37101 of the Government Code of the State of California and the taxing power of the city and solely for the purpose of producing revenue. The continued increase in the development of dwelling units in the city, with the consequent increase in the requirements of the city in providing public facilities and services of the city, has created an urgency in that there are insufficient funds available to meet these increased requirements. (Ord. 151 § 1, 1978)
