The director of the Tucson-Pima County emergency services agency will select and appoint a manager to assist the director in carrying out the responsibilities and duties of the director of emergency services. The manager of emergency services will be selected and appointed by the director through Pima County merit system procedures. The director, or the manager of emergency services when instructed by the director, also is the eleventh member and vice-chairperson of the commission, in order to insure continuity of purpose and direction between the agency and the commission. The director, however, has no vote. The director shall assume the chairperson's position in case the chairperson is absent or temporarily unable to assume duties. In the event of the death or resignation of the chairperson, the vice-chairperson will assume the chairperson's office until a new chairperson can be elected as provided in Section 9.16.060. The director will also serve as secretary of the commission.
