an interim basis, the duties of a Principal Public Works Manager.
Any person so selected may be selected as Principal Public Works Manager

on an interim basis the duties of a temporary Principal Public Works
Manager for more than two years.
This article shall be implemented, construed and subject to
the regulations or guidance documents issued by the Local Finance
