The Council may remove the Mayor for gross misconduct or malfeasance in, or disqualification for, office, or for the conviction while in office of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, or for a violation of his oath of office; provided, however, that such removal shall not take place without the concurrence of five (5) members of the Council nor until the Mayor shall have been notified in writing of the charge against him at least fifteen (15) days in advance of a public hearing upon such charge, and he or his counsel has been given an opportunity at such hearing to be heard, present evidence, or examine any witness appearing in support of the charge.
The decision of Council in removing the Mayor from office after compliance with this section shall be final and thereupon the office shall be vacant.
