The Mayor shall provide for the orderly continuation of the functions of city government at any time he or she is unable to attend to the duties of his or her office by delegating responsibility for any function to be performed in accordance with § 30.19; provided, that the Mayor shall not delegate the responsibility of presiding at meetings of the Council and that approving ordinances or promulgating administrative procedures may only be delegated to an elected officer. With approval of the Council, the Mayor may rescind any action taken in his or her absence under this section within 30 days of such action. If, for any reason, the disability of the Mayor to attend to his or her duties persists for 60 consecutive days, the office of Mayor may be declared vacant by a majority vote of the Council and the provisions of KRS 83A.040 shall apply.
