(A) In the event a bona fide emergency situation arises, due to unforeseen causes, which necessitates the purchase of goods, materials or supplies of a value of $5,000 or more and there is insufficient time to solicit for competitive bids for such purchases, then the Mayor shall call a special meeting of Council.
(B) Council shall, at such meeting, by majority vote of the members present, determine if an emergency exists and shall cause their vote to be recorded in the official minutes of such meeting.
(C) In the event Council determines an emergency situation does exist, it shall direct the Purchasing Director to purchase the goods, materials and supplies required without competitive bids being required and may make any recommendations or restrictions or conditions upon such purchase which it may deem proper under the circumstances then and there existing.
(D) A quorum for any special meeting called under the provisions of this section shall consist of not less than five voting members of Council.
