The City Manager or acting City Manager may authorize emergency purchases without observing the bidding procedures set forth in this chapter upon a finding that such purchases are required for the immediate protection of public health, safety, or welfare and that there is an immediate or imminent emergency. A declaration of emergency as set forth in this code is conclusive evidence of such an event. The City Manager or acting City Manager must provide a report to the City Council at its next special or regular meeting regarding such emergency purchases, which set forth the circumstances requiring the action.
