SECTION 7. RECALL.

   The electors shall have the power to remove from office by a recall election any elected officer of the Municipality. If an elected officer shall have served for six months of the officer's term, a petition demanding the officer's removal may be filed with the Clerk of Council who shall note thereon the name and address of the persons constituting the Petitioners' Committee filing the petition and the date of such filing. Such petition shall be signed by at least that number of qualified electors which equals twenty percent (20%) of the total electors voting at the last preceding regular municipal election. Within ten (10) days after the day on which such petition shall have been filed, the Clerk shall determine whether or not it meets the requirements hereof. If the Clerk shall find the petition insufficient, the Clerk shall within ten (10) days after the date of filing thereof, certify the particulars in which the petition is defective, deliver a copy of the Clerk's certificate to the Committee who filed the petition with the Clerk, and make a record of such delivery. Such Committee shall be allowed a period of ten (10) days after the date on which such delivery was made to take steps to make such petition sufficient, and may refile the same, as an originally filed petition with the Clerk of Council within such ten (10) day period. If the Clerk shall find the petition sufficient, the Clerk shall within ten (10) days after the date of filing thereof, so certify to the Council, shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the officer whose removal is sought, and shall make a record of such delivery. If such officer shall not resign within five (5) days after the day on which such delivery shall have been made, the Council shall thereupon fix a day for holding a special recall election, not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days after the date of such delivery. At such recall election this question shall be placed on the ballot: "Shall (naming the officer) be removed from office as (naming the office) of Mayfield Village?" with provision on the ballot for voting affirmatively or negatively on such question. If a majority of the votes cast at such election shall be voted negatively, such officer shall remain in office. If a majority of the votes cast shall be voted affirmatively, such officer shall be considered as removed, the office shall be deemed vacant, and such vacancy shall be filled as provided in this Charter. The officer removed by such election shall not be eligible for appointment to the vacancy created thereby.
