Latest version.
  • Whenever the assembly president and two thirds of the members of the assembly file a written document with the borough clerk showing good and sufficient cause that the borough mayor is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office due to some disability, then the administrative officer designated by the mayor will exercise the powers and duties of borough mayor until such time as the borough mayor is able to resume his office. The administrative officer acting for the mayor shall have the qualifications for the position of mayor, but shall not have veto power. The actions of the administrative officer in exercising the powers and duties of the borough mayor shall be subject to the review of the assembly president. No administrative staff shall be dismissed or replaced during the mayor's absence except with the concurrence of a majority of the assembly.
