Whenever due to an emergency resulting from the effects of enemy attack or the local disaster emergency, the City Council may meet within or without the City of Olathe on the call of the Mayor and/or City Manager or any three members of the City Council, and shall proceed to establish and designate by ordinance, resolution or the manner, alternate places as the emergency temporary location of the local government where all or any part of the public business may be transacted and conducted during the emergency situation. Such place may be within or without the City of Olathe and within the state of Kansas. (K.S.A. 48-1401).
