§ 23.5-505. Emergency Ordinances.

 Council may, in the event of a substantial public emergency affecting the life, health, property or peace of the citizens of the Township, adopt emergency ordinances, but such ordinances shall not levy taxes or authorize borrowing of money except as provided by law. An emergency ordinance shall be clearly so designated and shall contain a declaration of the emergency described in clear and specific terms. The manner for adoption of ordinances set forth herein shall be followed except that no publication prior to adoption shall be necessary and the emergency ordinance may be adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced. An emergency ordinance shall become effective immediately, shall automatically stand repealed as of the thirty-first (31) day following its date of adoption, but may be re-enacted as provided herein if the emergency still exists. An emergency ordinance may also be repealed by adoption of a repealing ordinance in the same manner specified in this Section for adoption of emergency ordinances.
