An appointee shall take office when confirmed by the Board or, if the Board has failed to act, on the 30th day after the appointment was filed with the Board. All such appointees shall serve at the pleasure of the County Executive, except where a definite term has been established therefor by law or by this Charter. The County Executive may designate a qualified person to serve in a temporary capacity for a period not in excess of ninety (90) days in any calendar year.
