(A) The Zoning Administrator shall be charged with maintenance of the district map and other duties concerning the city’s zoning plan as may be determined by the Director of Planning and Development. The Zoning Administrator shall be appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council, unless otherwise provided by statute or ordinance. A Zoning Administrator appointed on an interim basis may only hold said office for 180 days. Prior to the expiration of 180 days from said Administrator’s appointment, they must receive the advice and consent of the Council, or their employment by the city is terminated.
(B) The Mayor may remove the Zoning Administrator appointed under this Code, on any written charge, whenever the Mayor is of the opinion that the interests of the municipality demand removal. The Mayor shall report the reasons for the removal to the corporate authorities at a meeting to be held not less than five nor more than ten days after the removal. If the Mayor fails or refuses to report to the corporate authorities the reasons for the removal, or if the corporate authorities by a two-thirds vote of all members authorized by law to be elected disapprove of the removal, the Zoning Administrator thereupon shall be restored to Zoning Administrator. The vote shall be by yeas and nays, which shall be entered upon the journal of the corporate authorities. Upon restoration, the Zoning Administrator shall give a new bond and take a new oath of office. No Zoning Administrator shall be removed a second time for the same offense.
