Where, in the opinion of the Purchasing Agent, a serious emergency exists within the village which will endanger the health or safety of its citizens, the Purchasing Agent may make emergency purchases which exceed $20,000. Prior to making such a purchase, the Purchasing Agent shall attempt to notify the members of the Village Board regarding the pending purchase. The Purchasing Agent may not undertake such a contract or purchase if a majority of the members of the Village Board whom he or she is able to contact indicate that they would not confirm and ratify the action of the Purchasing Agent in making this purchase under emergency circumstances. The Purchasing Agent shall report his or her actions in making such an emergency purchase at the next regular scheduled Village Board meeting and provide full details as to the purchase and the circumstances under which the purchase was made.
