Mayoral succession

Myself and some South DaCola foot soldiers were discussing what happens if a mayor of Sioux Falls is forced to resign (due to health, death, personal issues or criminal reasons). The mayor has already appointed someone to succeed him in the event. I believe it goes;

  1. Traci Turbak, Finance Director
  2. Mark Cotter, Public Works director

After that I believe it goes to either the Planning Director or the Chief of Police. From there I think the city council can appoint someone until a special election can happen. Not sure. But these days the way politicians come and go, it is always good to have a plan.
