At such times as may be provided by the general laws of the State of Ohio, Council may declare by resolution, adopted by a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected thereto, that the amount of taxes permitted to be levied without a vote of the people by the Constitution and general laws of the State of Ohio and this Article will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of the municipality and that it is necessary to levy a tax in excess of such limitations for any municipal purpose specified in such resolution. Such resolution shall be confined to a single purpose, specify the exact amount of the additional levy required, the purpose thereof and the period, not exceeding the maximum period permitted under general law for municipal levies for that purpose, it shall be in effect, which may or may not include a levy on the duplicate for the current year. A majority of those voting thereon in any election will be sufficient for its passage. If passed, the Council may immediately make such levy, or such part thereof as it finds necessary.
