Electors shall have the power to remove from office by recall election, any elected official of the City. After an elected official has served six months of the elected official’s term, a petition demanding the elected official’s recall and removal, may be filed with the Clerk of Council. Such petition shall be signed by at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total electors voting at the last preceding Regular Municipal Election, provided, however, the petition for recall of a councilperson from a ward shall be signed by at least that number of electors of the councilperson’s ward equal to twenty-five percent (25%) in number of the electors of such ward who voted at the last preceding regular Municipal Election. If the Clerk shall find the petition sufficient, the Clerk shall promptly so certify to the Council, shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the official whose removal is sought and make a record of such delivery. If such official shall not resign within five (5) days after the day on which such delivery shall have been made, the Council shall fix a day for holding a recall election not less than ninety (90) days, nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of delivery. If a majority of the votes cast shall be voted affirmatively, such official shall remain in office. If a majority of the votes cast shall be voted negatively, such official shall be considered as removed, the official’s office shall be deemed vacant and such vacancy shall be filled as provided in this Charter. The official removed by such recall election shall not be eligible for appointment to the vacancy created thereby. (Amended 11-5-91; 11-5-19)
