In case the office of Clerk/Treasurer shall be vacant the Mayor shall appoint an interim Clerk/Treasurer with Council approval. The interim appointee shall serve until a Clerk/Treasurer shall be elected at the next general or primary Village election, whichever is sooner, provided the general or primary election occurs not less than ninety (90) days from the date on which the vacancy occurs. In the event the primary or general Village election is scheduled to occur less than ninety (90) days from the date of the vacancy, the appointee shall serve until the next following general or primary Village election. If the Clerk/Treasurer fails to qualify for the office, a vacancy shall be deemed to exist. Any person appointed to the office by Mayor must meet the qualifications for the office established in Section 4.01(c), except that it may not be necessary that he/she be a resident and qualified elector of the Village.
