   The mayor shall have the power to suspend, demote, or remove any officer or employee, subject, however, to tenure or terms of employment that are protected by statute, ordinances, or contract, and except for employees of the council. For other than temporary or emergency suspensions, the mayor, before taking any such action, shall convene a meeting of the appropriate committee of the city council, which shall conduct a hearing, along with the mayor or his designee. The officer or employee shall be given at least forty-eight (48) hours' notice of any hearing, and shall have the right and opportunity to obtain and have counsel present, and to be represented by counsel. After the hearing, the committee shall make recommendations for action to the mayor, and the mayor shall have the final decision on the appropriate action. Any interested party may request that the full council review the committee's recommendation within three (3) days of its rendition, and the council may review the record or conduct its own hearing and make recommendations to the mayor as above. The mayor shall not be bound by any recommendation thus made, but shall give same due consideration.
