Glasgow Temporary Absence: Acting City Attorney ordinance (§ 115.310)

In case of absence, sickness or other inability of the City Attorney to attend court, or when, before assuming his/her official duties, he/she shall have been counsel adverse to the City, he/she shall inform the Mayor thereof, by written or oral notice, and the Mayor shall appoint some other Attorney to represent the City in such cases, or during temporary absence, sickness or inability. Should the City Attorney fail, neglect, or refuse to give such notice, as above provided, and the interests of the City in case of such failure, neglect or refusal, need the immediate services of an Attorney, then the Mayor may appoint some other Attorney to attend to such cases, who shall receive the compensation allowed to the City Attorney for like services.
