  § 8-28. Emergency regulations.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Whenever necessary to meet a civil defense emergency or to prepare for such an emergency for which adequate regulations have not been adopted by the governor or the council, the mayor may by proclamation promulgate regulations, consistent with applicable federal or state laws or regulations respecting: Protection against air raids; the sounding of air raid alarms; the conduct of persons and the use of property during alarms; the repair, maintenance and safeguarding of essential public services; emergency health, fire and safety regulations; trial drills or practice periods required for preliminary training; and all other matters which are required to protect public safety, health and welfare in civil defense emergencies.

    (b)

    Every proclamation of emergency regulations shall be in writing and signed by the mayor, shall be dated, shall refer to the particular civil defense emergency to which it pertains, if so limited, and shall be filed in the office of the city administrator, where a copy shall be kept posted and available for public inspection during business hours. Notice of the existence of such regulation and its availability for inspection at the city administrator's office shall be conspicuously posted at the front of the city hall or other headquarters of the city and at such other places in the affected area as the mayor shall designate in the proclamation. Thereupon the regulation shall take effect immediately or at such later time as may be specified in the proclamation. By similar proclamation, the mayor may modify or rescind any such regulation.

    (c)

    The council may rescind any such regulations by resolution at any time. If not sooner rescinded, every such regulation shall expire at the end of three (3) days after its effective date or at the end of the civil defense emergency to which it relates, whichever occurs first.

    (d)

    Any ordinance, rule or regulation inconsistent with an emergency regulation promulgated by the mayor shall be suspended during the period of time and to the extent that such conflict exists.
