However, if circumstances prohibit the timely action of the City Council, the Mayor may order the following measures, provided that approval from a majority of the City Council is sought and obtained at the first available opportunity, or the Mayor’s order will become null and void.

§ 2.52.080 Acquisition of resources.

   A.   Under this section, the City Council is authorized to extend government authority to nongovernmental resources (i.e., personnel and equipment) which may support regular government forces during an emergency and may enter into agreements with other public and private agencies for use of resources. When real or personal property is taken under power granted by this section, the owner of the property shall be entitled to reasonable compensation.

   B.   Under the provisions of O.R.S. 401, state resources are available when the appropriate response to an emergency is beyond the capability of the city and county in which it occurs, the city or county fails to act, or the emergency involves 2 or more counties and the governor determines that lack of coordination is hampering the effectiveness of response to the emergency.

   C.   Whenever a state of emergency has been declared to exist within the city, county re sources also must be committed prior to the governor declaring a state of emergency by proclamation at the request of the county governing body.
