SEC. 3. REMOVAL.
   The Council may remove the Mayor for conviction while in office of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, adjudicated incompetency while in office, or a failure while in office to meet the Charter qualifications for holding said office. Such removal pursuant to this provision of the Charter may only be initiated by a written complaint signed by at least four members of Council. Thereafter, Council shall convene a meeting of its Committee of the Whole to hear said complaint for removal. Such removal shall not take place without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of Council nor until the Mayor shall have been notified in writing of the complaint against the Mayor at least thirty (30) days in advance of any hearing upon such complaint and the Mayor and the Mayor’s counsel have been given an opportunity to be heard, present evidence, and examine any witness appearing in support of such complaint. Council may, by rule, establish additional procedures regarding such removal proceedings not in conflict or inconsistent with this or any other provision of the Charter. (Amended 11-8-05.)
