(a) The Village Manager may, on the recommendation of the Coordinator of the Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, authorize any purchase or contracts necessary to place the Village in a position to effectively combat any disaster resulting from the explosion of a nuclear or other bomb or missile, and to protect the public health, safety and property, and provide emergency assistance to victims in the case of any such disaster or from a man-made or natural disaster.
(b) In the event of an enemy-caused or other disaster, the Coordinator is authorized, on behalf of the Village, to procure the services, supplies, equipment or material as may be necessary for such purposes, in view of the exigency without regard to the statutory procedures or formalities normally prescribed by law pertaining to Village contracts or obligations, as authorized by the "Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Act of 1975," as amended. However, if the Board of Trustees and its President meet at this time, the Coordinator shall act subject to the directions and restrictions imposed by the Board.
