SECTION 1. The county legislative body of Trousdale County is authorized by resolution to designate the chairman pro tempore of the county commission to carry out the necessary duties of the county executive if the county executive of Trousdale County is chairman of the county commission and is absent or intends to be absent, or is temporarily unable to perform the regular necessary duties of such office for any period of less than twenty-one (21) days.
