This Charter shall be submitted to a vote of the electors of
Upper Darby Township at the primary election held in May 1974.
If this Charter is adopted, then it shall be in full effect
for all purposes except those enumerated in this Article by the first
Council meeting held in January 1976.
At its first meeting or at any meeting held within 60 days thereafter,
the Council may adopt temporary ordinances to deal with cases where
there is an urgent need for prompt action in connection with the transition
of government and in which the delay incident to the appropriate ordinance
procedure would probably cause serious hardship or impairment of effective
government. A temporary ordinance shall be plainly labeled as such
and shall be introduced in the form and manner generally prescribed
for ordinances. A temporary ordinance may be considered without prior
notice and may be adopted, with or without amendment, or rejected
at the meeting at which it is introduced. A temporary ordinance shall
become effective upon adoption or at a later specified date; however,
every temporary ordinance, including amendments made after adoption,
shall stand repealed as of the 91st day following the date of adoption,
and it shall not be readopted, renewed, or otherwise continued except
by adoption through the regular procedure established by this Charter.
