This section is basically to cover an eventuality in which there is a mayor who says, "To hell with the development plan and budget, I am going to Honolulu." If he or she is not bothered with stuff like the powers he or she has, he or she can just give them back to the unelected CEO. Is that what it is for or is it if the mayor is somehow incapacitated? Is it if they just decide to go on holidays and to hell with this ceremonial office with no powers, he or she might as well be in Honolulu so he or she off? Is that what is covered by this?
