(A) Funds to prepare for and meet disasters shall be made available out of the village's general fund, as budgeted for the EMA.
(B) It is the village board's intent that the first recourse shall be to funds regularly allocated to the agency. If the village president finds that demands placed upon these funds in coping with a particular disaster are unreasonably great, he/she may make application for funds from the state disaster relief fund. If monies available from the fund are insufficient, and if the village president finds that other sources of money to cope with the disaster are not available or are insufficient, he/she shall issue a call for an immediate session of the village board for the purpose of enacting ordinances as the board may deem necessary to transfer and expend monies appropriated for other purposes, or borrow monies from the United States government or other public or private sources. If less than a quorum of the members of the board is capable of convening in session to enact such ordinances for the transfer, expenditure or loan of such monies, the village president is authorized to carry out these decisions until such time as a quorum of the board can convene.
(C) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to limit the village president's authority to apply for, administer and expend grants, gifts or payments in aid of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
(D) The village board may make appropriations for emergency management operations in the manner provided by law for making appropriations for the ordinary expenses of the village. The village board may also levy for emergency management operations a tax not to exceed 0.05% for the full, fair cash value as equalized or assessed by the department of revenue on all taxable property in the village for the current year. However, the amount collectible under such levy shall in no event exceed $0.25 per capita. The annual tax shall be in addition to and in excess of the amount authorized to be levied for general corporate business.
