(A) Power of appointment of officers. The Mayor shall appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the City Council, all officers of said city whose appointment is not otherwise provided for by law, and whenever a vacancy shall occur in any office which, by law or ordinance, he or she is empowered and required to fill, he or she shall, within 30 days after the occurrence of such vacancy, communicate to the City Council the name of his or her appointee to such office, and pending the concurrence of the Council in such appointment, he or she may designate some suitable person to discharge the functions of such office.
(Prior Code, Chapter 4, Article 2, § 5)
(B) Removal of officers. The Mayor shall have power to remove any officer appointed by him or her on any formal charge whenever he or she shall be of the opinion that the interests of the city demand such removal, but he or she shall report the reasons for such removal to the Council at a meeting to be held not less than five days nor more than ten days after such removal; if the Mayor shall fail or refuse to file with the City Clerk a statement of the reasons for such removal or if the Council, by a two-thirds vote of all its members authorized by law to be elected, by yeas and nays to be entered upon its record, disapprove of such removal, such officer shall thereupon become restored to the office from which he or she was so removed, but he or she shall give new bonds and take a new oath of office. No officer shall be removed a second time for the same offense.
(Prior Code, Chapter 4, Article 2, § 6)
