(A) A State of Local Emergency shall be declared by a Legislative Order issued by the Mayor. The State of Local Emergency shall commence upon the date of declaration within the Legislative Order issued by the Mayor and shall terminate at the end of a period of seven (7) consecutive days, unless, prior to the end of such time frame, the City Council shall have terminated such State of Local Emergency by the enactment of a resolution at a regular or special meeting. The City Council may also provide for extensions of the State of Local Emergency in 7-day increments by enacting a resolution at a special or regular meeting.
(B) However, if a vote of the City Council is not practicable, the Mayor upon certification by the City Manager that the conditions leading to or causing the emergency no longer exist, and the city's agencies and departments are able to manage the situation without extraordinary assistance, may terminate the State of Local Emergency, by issuance of a Legislative Order.
