Any elective County officer may be removed from office in the manner provided by law. Any elective County officer other than a Supervisor may be removed by a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors, for cause, after such officer has been served with a written statement of alleged grounds for such removal, and such officer has been given a reasonable opportunity to be heard in the way of explanation or defense.
For the purposes of this section, cause is defined as: a flagrant or repeated neglect of duties; a misappropriation of public property; a violation of any law related to the performance of the officer's duties; or a willful falsification of a relevant official statement or document.
