A. To meet a state of emergency as declared by the County Executive or by an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the members of the whole of the County Council, the County Council, by emergency ordinance, or the County Executive in the absence of a quorum of the County Council, may make emergency appropriations from contingent funds, from revenue received from budgeted sources but in excess of estimates, from revenue received from sources not budgeted or from revenue from any other source available to the county. To the extent there may be insufficient revenues from the above funds to meet such emergency needs, the County Council may incur indebtedness not in excess of that permitted by law.
