(A) In case any officer charged shall file with the Clerk a denial of the charge and specifications in writing, the City Council may forthwith proceed to hear the officer, and if after the hearing the City Council shall be satisfied that the officer has been guilty of the offense charged, it shall cause the finding to be entered upon its minutes and declare the office vacant.
(B) The proceedings at the hearing of any person charged under the provisions of this subchapter shall be as nearly like those in ordinary actions at law as the nature of the case will admit, and it shall be the duty of the City Attorney, if so directed by the City Council, to prosecute the case against any person charged under the provisions of this subchapter.
