Electors shall have the power to remove from office by recall election any elected officer of the Village. After a holder of an elected office has served six (6) months of his/her term, a petition demanding his/her recall and removal may be filed with Council. Such petition shall be signed by electors equal in number to at least twenty-five (25) percent of the total votes cast at the preceding gubernatorial election within the Village. Council, within thirty (30) days of the filing of the petition, shall determine its validity and sufficiency in accordance with Section 11.02 of this Charter. If Council determines that the petition is valid and sufficient, it shall cause to be delivered, within forty-five (45) days of such determination, notification of such determination to the officer whose removal is sought. Unless such officer resigns within five (5) days after the receipt of such notification, Council shall fix a day for holding a recall election not less than thirty (30) days, nor more than forty-five (45) days, from the date of receipt of such officer of said notification. The form of the ballot used shall be:
"Shall ________ be removed from his/her office as _________?" If a majority of the votes are affirmative, such officer shall be considered as removed, his/her office will be deemed vacated, and such vacancy shall be filled as provided in this Charter; otherwise he/she shall remain and continue in office. An officer removed by such recall election shall not be eligible for appointment to the vacancy created thereby.
