Sec. 8. (a) If the surveyor is a competent civil engineer, the surveyor shall plan and supervise all surveying and civil engineering work of the county under the direction of the county executive.

(b) If the surveyor is not a competent civil engineer, the county executive shall appoint a competent civil engineer for each surveying or civil engineering project that the executive orders or receives a petition for. If the executive refuses to appoint such an engineer for a project, the surveyor is entitled to a hearing in the circuit or superior court of the county to determine the surveyor's competence to perform the project. The order of the court under this section is final and conclusive.
