Except where otherwise provided by statute, the Mayor may remove any officer appointed by the Mayor under this code or state law, on any written charge, whenever the Mayor is of the opinion that the interests of the city demand removal. The Mayor shall report the reasons for the removal to the City Council at a meeting to be held not less than 5 days nor more than 10 days after the removal. If the Mayor fails or refuses to report to the City Council the reasons for the removal, or if the City Council, by a

vote of all its Aldermen authorized by law to be elected, disapprove of the removal, the officer shall thereupon be restored to the office from which the officer was so removed. The vote shall be by yeas and nays, which shall be entered upon the journal of the City Council. Upon restoration, the officer shall give a new bond and take a new oath of office. No officer shall be removed a second time for the same offense.
