<br />storing this main to service, and,

<br />that repairs be made to the 12-inch watermain without further delay, and it is
<br />necessary to enter into a contract immediately in order to insure that such
<br />repairs be made prior to the winter months, and for the reason that further
<br />delay would be dangerous to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of
<br />Lakewood, and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, a delay, in order to comply with the competitive bidding
<br />requirements of the Charter of the City of Lakewood, will be dangerous to the
<br />health, safety and ~elfare of the citizens of Lakewood, and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code 735.051, the legislative
<br />authority of a municipal corporation may, by a two-thirds vote, contract for
<br />the purchase of construction work without formal bidding and advertising in
<br />the case of a real emergency arising in connection with the operation and
<br />maintenance of the Department of Public Works, and,
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, this Ordinance constitutes an emergency in that it provides
<br />for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, welfare and pro-
<br />perty and provides for the usual daily operation of a municipal department,
<br />now, therefore,
<br />
