consisting of twenty-four (24) hours on duty and
twenty-four (24) hours off duty, with a minimum of
sixty-seven (67) hours of duty during each seven (7)
day period. Firemen shall work each day as such
day may fall in the scheduled assignments of duties
as specified by the Fire Chief, regardless of legal
holidays, and the working of any legal holiday shall
not entitle such employee to extra time off, overtime,
or additional compensation, except as hereinafter
specifically set forth. He shall, however, accrue
credit for holiday pay purposes, not to exceed one
year's accrual, based each calendar year upon the
number of days (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) in
that year on which the general City offices are
closed in observance of legal holidays, accrual to
be at the rate of one -twelfth (1/12) of a full year's
credit for each month of service during that year.

At least once each calendar year, at a time desig-
nated by the City Manager, each Fireman shall be
paid in a lump sum, at a rate equal to his current
regular compensation, for all such accrued holiday
pay.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is an urgency ordinance;
facts constituting the urgency are as follows:
A study has just been completed showing that the.
effectiveness of Firemen serving a minimum of seventy-two (72)
hours of duty during each seven (7) day period is reduced,
thereby decreasing the highest efficiency for saving lives
and property within the City of Costa Mesa.
SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall take effect and be
in full force immediately upon its adoption and passage, and
prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days from its passage
shall be published once in the Orange Coast Daily Pilot, a

bers of the City Council voting for and against the same.
