Should said annual property tax rate produce a property tax revenue in excess of the property tax revenue otherwise allowable by the provisions of this paragraph, said excess revenue shall be set aside and reserved by the City for the next following fiscal year and shall be deducted from the maximum property tax revenue otherwise permitted to be raised for said following fiscal year pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition to the tax levied puruuant to Paragraph (a) of this Section, there shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as other property taxes for municipal purposes, if no other provision for payment thereof is made: (1) A tax sufficient to meet all liabilities of the City of principal and interest of all bonds and judgments due and unpaid, or to become due during the ensuing fiscal year, which constitute general obligations of the City; and °"" (2) A tax sufficient to meet all obligations of the City under the State Employees' Retirement System, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, or other plan, for the retirement of City employees, due and unpaid or to become due during the ensuing fiscal year. (c) In the event of an emergency which constitutes a danger to the public health, safety or welfare, or of a general disaster, which requires the City to incur additional costs and obligations which cannot be met under the maximum property tax levies otherwise permitted by this Section, the City Council may levy an additional tax which produces additional property tax revenues in an amount not exceeding that which is necessary to satisfy said costs and obligations. Such a tax levy shall be authorized only upon an affirmative vote of three-fifths of the total membership of the City Council and shall be levied for one (1) year only. In the event that the property tax rate has been set when an addi- tional rate is authorized pursuant to this paragraph, such additional rate may be levied in the next following fiscal year. (d) If this Charter measure receives the highest affirmative vote with respect to other proposed amendments of Article XII of the Chapter considered at the same election, then this measure shall prevail and such other proposed amendments shall be null and void."
