§ 6.08. Mayor's absence, incapacity or suspension.
Latest version.
During any absence of the mayor from Duval County, the president of the council shall
automatically become acting mayor, with emergency powers to act only when the public
interest requires and with such additional powers to act only when the public interest
requires and with such additional powers as the mayor may designate. If the mayor
becomes incapable of acting as the mayor and incapable of delegating his duties, or
in the event that the mayor is suspended in the exercise of his office, and in either
case as long as the incapacity or suspension lasts, the president of the council shall
automatically become acting mayor, with all the powers of the office. If the mayor
and the president of the council are simultaneously absent from Duval County, or simultaneously
incapable of acting as mayor and incapable of delegating the duties of the office
of mayor, or simultaneously suspended in the exercise of the office of mayor, the
vice president of the council shall automatically become acting mayor with the same
powers as the president of the council would have had in like circumstances. The council
may by ordinance provide for further succession to the same powers as provided in
this section.
