Sec. 5. (a) If, in the judgment of the executive, overtime work by the regular police officers or firefighters under section 4 of this chapter does not meet the requirements for public safety in the municipality, the safety board and the police and fire chiefs may employ persons temporarily. However, if there is an established merit system, eligibility lists for appointment or promotion in effect must be used in the selection of personnel before other temporary or permanent appointments. These persons shall be employed as temporary employees and are not members or beneficiaries of any pension fund under this article. All temporary employees' service terminates at the expiration of the emergency.
(b) Temporary employees and overtime work shall be paid out of the unexpended appropriations for salaries of those on temporary leave of absence under section 3 of this chapter.
