Sec. 87. - Temporary inability.

If the auditor is unable to discharge the powers and duties of office, such inability
               being of temporary duration, the auditor, or the auditor's agent, shall transmit to
               the deputy auditor a signed, written declaration setting forth the reasons for such
               inability and the city clerk shall be notified of the same; provided that failure
               to do so shall not prevent the proper officer from performing the powers and duties
               of the office. During a period of temporary inability of the auditor, the powers and
               duties of the office of auditor shall devolve upon the deputy auditor, who shall be
               the acting auditor. Such declaration shall be in effect until such time as the declaration
               is rescinded in like manner, or six months have passed, or the office is vacated.
               For the purpose of this section, the auditor shall file with the city clerk a notarized
               statement, on a form prescribed by the city clerk, setting forth the name of one or
               more persons designated as the auditor's agent(s). The filing shall be made by the
               second meeting of council each January and may be amended at any time.
