(B) However, if the Board of Trustees meets at the time of such disaster, the Director/Coordinator's action shall be subject to the directions and restrictions imposed by the Board of Trustees.
(C) In addition, the Village Manager, or in his or her absence the Assistant Village Manager, may, on recommendation of the Director/Coordinator, authorize any purchase or contract necessary to place the village in a position to effectively combat any disaster, to protect the public health and safety, to protect property, and to provide emergency assistance to victims, whether such disaster results from the explosion of any nuclear or other bomb or missile, or from any natural cause or man-made disaster.
