The City Manager may designate in writing any administrative employee of the City who shall exercise all powers, duties and functions of the City Manager during the City Manager's temporary absence from the City or during the City Manager's disability. If such designation has not been made and the City Manager is absent from the City or unable to perform the City Manager's duties or to make such designation, the Council may, by resolution, appoint any qualified administrative employee of the City to perform the powers, duties and functions of the City Manager until the City Manager shall return to the City or the disability ceases.
In the event of a vacancy in the Office of City Manager, the Council may designate a person as Acting City Manager, who shall exercise all powers, duties and functions of the City Manager until a City Manager is appointed.
