(A) Both the City Commission and the City Manager have the authority, in accordance with the provisions of F.S. Ch. 120, to make, amend and rescind such emergency orders and rules as are necessary for emergency management purposes, and to supplement the Florida Statutes. To the extent that a general emergency order issued by the city does not contain specific requirements, the City Manager may administratively implement such emergency orders by adopting implementing rules.
(B) All emergency orders and rules adopted by the City Commission or City Manager shall have full force and effect of law after adoption when filed in the office of the City Clerk, in accordance with the provisions of F.S. Ch. 120. Failure to file any such emergency order or rule with the office of the City Clerk within three days after issuance voids the emergency order or rule.
(C) Emergency ordinances, declarations, and emergency orders adopted by the city under the authority of F.S. §§ 252.31 through 252.90, including those enacted pursuant to F.S. § 166.041(3)(b), must also be available on a dedicated city webpage accessible through a conspicuous link on the homepage. The dedicated webpage shall identify the emergency ordinances, declarations, and emergency orders currently in effect. The city shall provide the appropriate state agencies and the county with the link to the city's dedicated webpage.
(D) Without in any way limiting any provision of this chapter, the City Manager is authorized to take all necessary actions to implement the provisions of this chapter. This chapter does not limit the administrative authority of the City Manager to act under the authority of the City Charter and the City Code of Ordinances.
