A. The Mayor shall have the power to designate any person to perform the duties of any position under the Mayor's control which is vacant or which lacks administration owing to the absence or disability of the incumbent. That person shall be designated to a deputy or acting position and shall serve with the same powers and functions as the vacant position.
B. In the event there is a vacancy in any appointed position set forth in City Charter subsections 4-40(f)(1) through (f)(6) and section 1.2.201 of this article, the Mayor may designate a City employee to serve as the acting appointee, or may designate a person not then currently a City employee to serve as an interim appointee. If the Mayor designates an interim appointee to serve during a vacancy, no person shall serve in an interim capacity for more than twelve (12) total months without being appointed to the permanent appointee position and being presented for confirmation by the City Council in accord with City Charter subsection 4-40(f). In no event shall a vacancy be filled by one or more interim appointees for more than twelve (12) total months. (Ord. 11-18; Ord. 17-20)
