The Administrator shall appoint, supervise, promote, discharge and discipline all employees of the Municipality except that:
(A) The Mayor shall supervise and discipline the Fire Chief and the Chief of Police and may, with the approval of Council by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of its members, discharge the Director of Law, the Fire Chief and the Chief of Police. The Mayor shall appoint the Director of Law, Fire Chief and the Chief of Police; each such appointment shall be for a term of one year and shall be subject to the approval of Council by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of its members.

If the then-current Director of Law, Fire Chief or Chief of Police shall be unwilling to so act, the Mayor shall appoint an individual to act as interim Director of Law, Fire Chief or Chief of Police, as the case may be, until the Mayor and Council shall duly appoint a successor.
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 5.05(A) to the contrary, the term for which the Director of Law, the Fire Chief or the Chief of Police may be appointed may be varied pursuant to the terms of an employment contract between the Municipality and the Director of Law, the Fire Chief or the Chief of Police, as the case may be, provided that each such contract shall be approved by Council by a vote of three-fourths (3/4) of its members.

The Administrator shall serve pursuant to the terms of an employment contract between the Municipality and the Administrator, provided that any such contract entered into between the Municipality and an Administrator on or after January 1, 1997 shall be subject to the approval of Council by two-thirds (2/3) of its members.
