The Board of Trustees may, on recommendation of the Director, authorize any purchase or contracts necessary to place the Village in a position to combat effectively any disaster resulting from the explosion of any nuclear or other bomb or missile, and to protect the public health and safety, protect property, and provide emergency assistance to victims in the case of such disaster, or from manmade or natural disaster.
In the event of enemy caused or other disaster, the Director is authorized, on behalf of the Village, to procure such services, supplies, equipment or material as may be necessary for such purposes, in view of the exigency without regard to the statutory procedures or formalities normally prescribed by law pertaining to City contracts or obligations, as authorized by "The State ESDA Act of 1975", provided that if the Village Board meets at such time he shall act subject to the directions and restrictions imposed by that body.
