The City Manager shall serve for an indefinite term, subject to removal by the Council at any time by a majority vote of all the members elected thereto. Should such removal become necessary, Council shall, thirty (30) days before the effective date thereof, notify the City Manager of such intent, stating the cause for removal, immediately suspend him from office and appoint an officer of the City to perform the duties of the Manager during his suspension. The City Manager may, within one (1) week after notice of suspension, reply in writing and request an appearance before Council.

After such hearing, if one is requested and after full consideration, Council, by resolution, may declare the City Manager removed from office and the decision of Council shall be final. In any case of removal, the former Manager shall receive one (1) month severance pay unless such removal is due to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude. In the case of voluntary resignation of the Manager, the Council and the Manager shall agree upon the effective date of the resignation.
