If the Administrative Hearing Officer has a conflict of interest, the Administrative Hearing Officer shall withdraw and the County Executive shall appoint a temporary Administrative Hearing Officer to hear the case. The temporary Administrative Hearing Officer is entitled to the per diem compensation provided for in the budget of the Office of Administrative Hearings. A temporary Administrative Hearing Officer shall also hear cases if the Administrative Hearing Officer is absent, sick, or unable to act for any other reason.
