AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA REQUIRING EVERY PERSON SELLING GASOLINE OR
OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE FUEL TO IMMEDIATELY POST A
SIGN INDICATING THE PRICE OF EACH GRADE OF SUCH
GASOLINE OR FUEL AND PROHIBITING ANY SUCH PERSON
FROM ADVERTISING PRODUCTS WHICH ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY
AVAILABLE FOR SALE, DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF,
AND THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE IMMEDIATE EFFECT
The CityCouncil of the City of Azusa does ordain as
follows :
SECTION 1. Every person, firm, partnership, association,
or corporation offering for sale, or selling, any gasoline or other
motor vehicle fuel to the public from any place of business within
the corporate limits of the City of Azusa shall post or display a
sign which is clearly visible from any street or highway adjacent
to such place of business, and which indicates the actual price
per gallon, including all taxes at which each grade of gasoline or
other motor vehicle fuel is currently being offered for sale or sold .
SECTION 2. No person, firm, partnership, association or
corporation shall advertise either in connection with the sign
required by Section 1 of this ordinance or otherwise, any grade
of gasoline, motor fuel, or other similar product which is not
immediately available for sale to the public on the business
premises.
SECTION 3. Any sign posted or displayed pursuant to
Section 1 of this ordinance shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of Article 8 of Chapter 7 of Division 8 (Sections
20880, et seq. ) of the California Business and Professions Code .
SECTION 4. This ordinance is required for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, and shall
take effect immediately upon its passage .
The facts constituting the urgency are that because of the
shortage of motor vehicle fuel, motorists are often required to wait
in lines for long periods of time before reaching fuel pumps at
service stations . If fuel prices are not conspicuously posted so
that they are visible from the street, motorists may be misled
either as to the price, or as to its availability.
The protection of the public peace and safety requires
that adequate notice of the price of motor vehicle fuel and of its
availability be given at the earliest possible time in order to avoid
public inconvenience, expense, and the loss of valuable resources.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage
of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published as
required by law.
Passed and approved this 19th day of February, 1974.
