(A) It is the intent of the Village Board and declared to be the policy of the village that every effort shall be made to provide funds for disaster emergencies.
(B) It is the Village Board’s intent that the first recourse shall be to funds regularly appropriated to the agency. If the President finds that the demands placed upon these funds in coping with a particular disaster are unreasonably great, and the Governor has proclaimed the village a disaster, he or she may make application for funds from the state disaster relief fund. If monies available from the fund are insufficient, and if the President finds that other sources of money to cope with the disaster are not available or are insufficient, he or she shall issue a call for an immediate session of the Village Board for the purpose of enacting ordinances as the Village 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 Village Board is capable of convening in session to enact such ordinances for the transfer, expenditure or loan of such monies, the President is authorized to carry out those decisions until such time as a quorum of the Village Board can convene.
(C) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to limit the President’s authority to apply for, administer and expend grants, gifts or payments in aid of disaster prevention, preparedness, response or recovery.
