The Manager may designate, by letter filed with the Clerk of Council, any qualified administrative officer of the Municipality to perform the powers, duties and functions of the office of Manager during temporary absence from the Municipality or during disability. Such designation shall not be effective until the Council has approved it by a majority vote of the members of the Council, and the Council may revoke such designation by a majority vote of the members thereto. If such designation has not been made and the Manager is absent from the Municipality or unable to perform the duties or the office of Manager or to make such designation, the Council may, by motion, appoint any qualified administrative officer of the Municipality to perform the powers, duties and functions of the Manager until the Manager shall return to the Municipality or the disability ceases. The Acting Manager so designated shall exercise all powers, duties and functions of the Manager during the temporary absence from the Municipality or disability of the Manager.
In the event of a vacancy in the office of Manager, the Council may designate a person as Acting Manager, who shall exercise all powers, duties and functions of the Manager until a Manager is appointed.
