    (1) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, before an emergency manager executes an action under section 12(1)(k), (r), or (u) or section 14(d), he or she shall submit his or her proposed action to the governing body of the local government. The governing body of the local government shall have 10 days from the date of submission to approve or disapprove the action proposed by the emergency manager. If the governing body of the local government does not act within 10 days, the proposed action is considered approved by the governing body of the local government and the emergency manager may then execute the proposed action. For an action under section 12(1)(r) or section 14(d), this subsection only applies if the asset, liability, function, or responsibility involves an amount of $50,000.00 or more.
    (2) If the governing body of the local government disapproves the proposed action within 10 days, the governing body of the local government shall, within 7 days of its disapproval of the action proposed by the emergency manager, submit to the local emergency financial assistance loan board an alternative proposal that would yield substantially the same financial result as the action proposed by the emergency manager. The local emergency financial assistance loan board shall have 30 days to review both the alternative proposal submitted by the governing body of the local government and the action proposed by the emergency manager and to approve either the alternative proposal submitted by the governing body of the local government or the action proposed by the emergency manager. The local emergency financial assistance loan board shall approve the proposal that best serves the interest of the public in that local government. The emergency manager shall implement the alternative proposal submitted by the governing body of the local government or the action proposed by the emergency manager, whichever is approved by the local emergency financial assistance loan board.
