Temporary officers shall be appointed as follows: A. By the Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside, or, if he/she is unavailable; B. By the Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors of any other county within 150 miles of the City, beginning with the nearest and most populated county and going to the farthest and least populated, or if he/she is unavailable; C.
