When the President pro tempore of Council becomes the Mayor, the Council vacancy thus created shall be filled by election by Council for the unexpired term. If Council fails within thirty days to fill such vacancy, the Mayor shall fill it by appointment, except that when the vacancy occurs because of operation of Ohio R.C. 733.25, the successor shall hold office only for the period the President pro tempore holds the office of Mayor. Council shall then elect another President pro tempore from its own number, who shall have the same rights, powers and duties as his predecessor.
