words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them:
Duly authorized. A person who is presently authorized to perform all of the

other subordinates of those officers.
Unavailable. Absent or unable to exercise the powers and discharge the
duties of an office and includes vacancy.
2.1020 Purpose. Because of the possibility of enemy attack, natural disaster,
calamity, or common accident, and in order to assure continuity of effective
legally constituted leadership, authority, and responsibility in the offices of
the government of the city, it is found and declared to be necessary to
provide for emergency interim officers who can exercise the powers and
discharge the duties of the key executive, administrative, legislative and
judicial offices in the city in the event that the incumbents thereof, and their
deputies, assistants, or other subordinate officers, authorized pursuant to
law, to exercise all the powers and discharge the duties of such offices, are

1998, effective May 6, 1998.)

judge, the city manager, and the chief officer or head of each department of
city government shall designate not less than three nor more than seven
emergency interim successors in addition to duly authorized deputies,

review, and as necessary, revise the designations of emergency interim
successors to assure that at all times there are at least three such
qualified emergency interim successors for each officer specified.
(2) No person shall be designated or serve as an emergency interim
successor unless the person may, under the charter or this Code, hold
the office of the person to whose powers and duties he or she is
designated to succeed, but no provision of an ordinance prohibiting an
officer or employee from holding another office shall be applicable to an
emergency interim successor.
(3) At the time of designations, emergency interim successors shall take
the oath provided by law for the office but the emergency interim
successors shall not be required to comply with any other provision of
law relative to the taking of office as a prerequisite to exercising powers
and duties of the office to which they succeed.
(4) The designation of an individual as an emergency interim successor is
Eugene Code
2-145 12/19/2017
effective until the individual is removed or replaced by the designating
officer or a successor to the office. The designating officer or successor
in office may remove or replace individuals so designated at any time,
with or without cause.
(Section 2.1040 administratively amended by Ordinance No. 20113, enacted April 6, 1998,
effective May 6, 1998.)
2.1045 Order of Succession. If an officer named or referred to in sections 2.1015
to 2.1040 and duly authorized deputies are unavailable, the emergency
interim successor highest in rank in order of succession who is available
shall, except for the power and the duty to appoint emergency interim
successors, exercise the powers and discharge the duties of the officer. The
emergency interim successor shall exercise these powers and discharge
these duties only until the time a lawful incumbent officer or duly authorized
deputies or an emergency interim successor higher in rank in order of
succession, exercises, or resumes the exercise of, the powers and discharge
of the duties of the office, or until, where an actual vacancy exists, a
successor is appointed to fill the vacancy or is elected and qualified as
provided by law. The council, either by ordinance or resolution, may at any
time terminate the authority of emergency interim successors to exercise the
powers and duties of the office to which they have succeeded.
2.1050 Changing Council Meeting Locations. Whenever circumstances listed in
section 2.1020 prevail, and it becomes imprudent, inexpedient, or impossible
to conduct the affairs of the council at the city hall, the council may meet any
place within or without the city on the call of the mayor or any two members
of the council.
