Amends Section 3.4 to refer to only a mayor's absence (was, absence or disability) during which the mayor pro tempore must perform mayoral duties. Amends Section 3.5 to require vacancies for elective offices to be filled pursuant to GS 160A-63 (was, general state law). Amends Section 3.6 to no longer provide for participation in board meetings by the mayor or commissioners via simultaneous communication to count for voting or forming a quorum.
