(A) Whenever a vacancy occurs in an elected office of the municipality, except Mayor, notice of said vacancy shall be presented in writing to the City Council at a regular meeting and said notice shall appear as a part of the minutes of such meeting.
(B) The City Council shall at once give public notice of the vacancy by causing to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the municipality or by posting in three public places in the municipality the office vacated and the length of the unexpired term.
(C) The Mayor shall within two weeks after the regular meeting at which notice has been presented, or upon the death of the incumbent, call a special meeting of the City Council at which time the Mayor shall submit the name of a qualified elector to fill the vacancy for the balance of the unexpired term.
(D) No officer who is removed at a recall election or resigns after the initiation of the recall process shall be appointed to fill the vacancy resulting from his or her removal or the removal of any other member of the governing body during the remainder of his or her term of office.
(E) Upon a majority vote of approval by the City Council, the vacancy shall be filled. If a majority vote is not reached, the nomination shall be rejected and the Mayor shall at the next regular meeting submit the name of another qualified elector. If the vote on the nominee fails to carry by majority vote, the Mayor shall continue at such meeting to submit the names of qualified electors and the City Council shall continue to vote upon such nominations until the vacancy is filled.
