Omaha City Charter, art. V, § 5.11
in effectSection 5.11. - Emergency Appropriations.
To meet a public emergency threatening serious loss of life, health, or property, the Council may by ordinance make emergency appropriations or transfers. If there are no unappropriated moneys available, the Council may by ordinance authorize the issuance of emergency notes. Such notes may be renewed from time to time, but an appropriation sufficient to pay off such notes shall be included in the first budget adopted after the issuance of the emergency notes, except in cases where an alternative means for paying off the notes is found in advance of the date on which such budget is adopted. The total amount appropriated for emergencies in any fiscal year shall not exceed 5 per cent of the total appropriations made in the operating budget for that year.
