(B) If the Mayor fails or refuses to file with the City Clerk a statement of the reasons for the removal or if the Council, by a 2/3 vote of all its members authorized by law to be elected by yeas and nays, to be entered upon its record, disapproves of the removal, the officer shall be restored to the office from which he or she was removed but shall give new bonds and take a new oath of office.
(C) No officer shall be removed a second time for the same offense.
