The resolution emphasizes the essential nature of these services for maintaining the health and safety of employees, clients, attendees, and the public during events. The Council determines that the circumstances constitute an emergency, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and take effect immediately, thereby preventing any potential lapse in critical cleaning and maintenance services.
