The Council may remove the Clerk of Council, for gross misconduct, malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance, in, or for disqualification for office, or for the conviction while in office of a crime involving moral turpitude. Such removal shall not take place without the concurrence of five (5) of the members of Council, nor until the Clerk of Council shall have been notified in writing of the charges against him at least ten (10) full days in advance of any hearing upon such charge, and until he or his counsel shall have been given an opportunity to be heard, present evidence, and examine witnesses appearing in support of such charge.
