designate, subject to approval of the commission, a qualified appointive administrative
officer to exercise the powers and perform the duties of the county administrator
during any temporary absence or disability of the county administrator. During such
absence or disability, the mayor, with the consent of the commission, may at any time
revoke such designation and appoint another appointive administrative officer of the
