§ 9-24-7. Procurements made during civil emergency.

After proclamation of a civil emergency pursuant to section 9-24-2, in the event the mayor further should determine in his or her judgment that the resources then available to the city are insufficient for the protection of life or property, and that the public peace, health, safety and welfare require that additional labor, equipment or supplies be procured in order to combat such civil emergency, the mayor shall forthwith authorize the director of civil defense, to procure by contract on behalf of the city all such additional labor, equipment or supplies as may be necessary in order to combat such civil emergency. Such procurement on behalf of the city may be by employment or subemployment of personnel for such times and such durations as the director of civil defense may determine, or by lease or purchase of equipment or supplies. All such procurements made or contracted for on behalf of the city by the director of civil defense shall become the obligations of the city and shall be paid for from the general funds of the city.
