It shall be the duty of the Mayor to appoint the directors of all departments and to make all other appointments provided for by law or ordinance unless otherwise provided herein. Proposed appointment and subsequent removal of directors of departments established by Charter in Section 9.01 and members of boards or commissions established by Charter shall be presented in writing to the Clerk of Council, who shall place them on the agenda of the next Council meeting for Council's consideration.
Council shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of a proposed appointment or removal from the Mayor, either confirm or reject such appointment or removal. Confirmation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the members elected to Council. If Council does not either confirm or reject such appointment or removal within the time specified, the appointment or removal shall take effect as if the same had been confirmed by Council. Any rejection of a proposed appointment or removal shall be by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of all members elected to Council and the reason or reasons shall be entered in the journal and submitted in writing to the Mayor prior to the next regular Council meeting.
Council shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving a second proposed appointment from the Mayor, either confirm or reject such second appointment. Confirmation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the members elected to Council. If Council does not either confirm or reject such second appointment within the time specified, the appointment shall take effect as if the appointment had been confirmed by Council.
In the event that Council should reject both appointments, the power of the Mayor to fill the vacancy shall terminate and Council shall make the appointment by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members elected thereto. The Mayor shall not have the power to veto this appointment.
Unless otherwise limited by this Charter, the Mayor shall have the power, to promote, demote, transfer, or remove any employee or official of the Municipality except those required by this Charter to be elected.
