Section 11. All ordinances and resolutions passed by the Village Commission shall be in effect from and after twenty days from the date of their passage, except that the Village Commission may, by an affirmative vote of all its members, pass emergency measures to take effect at the time indicated therein.
An emergency measure is an ordinance or resolution for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health or safety, or providing for the usual daily operation of a municipal department, in which the emergency is set forth and defined in a preamble thereto. Ordinances appropriating money may be passed as emergency measures, but no measure making a grant, renewal or extension of a franchise or other special privilege, or regulating the rate to be charged for its service by any public utility, shall ever be so passed.
