(A) An emergency ordinance shall be in the form and manner prescribed for legislation generally, except that each emergency ordinance shall declare that it is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, or welfare in Sunbury, and shall specify the nature of the emergency.
(B) An ordinance may be adopted as an emergency ordinance by an affirmative vote of at least five Council members on the emergency provision. If an emergency ordinance fails to receive an affirmative vote of at least five Council members on the emergency provision but receives a majority vote for passage, the ordinance shall become effective as a non-emergency ordinance.
