§ 12-2. Procedures for designation.

A. 

Elective officers. Within 30 days following the effective date of this chapter, and thereafter within 30 days after first entering upon the duties of his office, each elective officer shall, in addition to any duly authorized deputy, designate such number of emergency interim successors to the powers and duties of his office and specify their rank in order of succession after any duly authorized deputy so that there will be not less than three duly authorized deputies or emergency interim successors, or combination thereof, to perform the powers and duties of the office. Designation of deputies shall be made annually by resolution at the reorganization meeting.

B. 

Appointive officers. Each officer or body of officers empowered by law to appoint officers shall, within the time specified in Subdivision A of this section, in addition to any duly authorized deputy, designate for each such appointive officer such number of emergency interim successors to such officers and specify their rank in order of succession after any duly authorized deputy so that there will be not less than three duly authorized deputies or emergency interim successors, or combination thereof, for each such officer. Where such a body of officers consists of members having overlapping terms, such body of officers shall review and, as necessary, revise the previous designations of emergency interim successors by such body within 30 days after a new member elected or appointed to such body of officers first enters upon the duties of his office as a member of such body of officers. Designation of deputies shall be made annually by resolution at the reorganization meeting.

C. 

Review of designations. The incumbent in the case of those elective officers specified in Subdivision A of this section, and the appointing officer or body of officers specified in Subdivision B of this section, shall from time to time review and, as necessary, promptly revise the designations of emergency interim successors to ensure that at all times there are at least three duly authorized deputies or emergency interim successors, or combination thereof, for each elective and appointive officer of the Village.
