573.2. Despite sections 573, 573.1 and 573.3.0.2, in case of irresistible force of such a nature as to imperil the life or health of the population or seriously damage the equipment of the municipality, the mayor may order any expenditure deemed necessary and award any contract necessary to remedy the situation. In such a case, the mayor must make a report of such action and the reasons therefor to the council at its next sitting. However, if the municipality has an executive committee, and if such committee sits before the next sitting of the council, the mayor shall make a substantiated report to such committee. The mayor’s report shall then be tabled in council at the next sitting.
