Council shall be the judge of the election and qualifications of its own members including the President of Council. Council may, by vote of two-thirds (2/3) of its members including the President of Council, expel or remove any member for gross misconduct, misfeasance, malfeasance, or disqualification of office; or for the violation of his oath of office; or for conviction of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or for persistent failure to abide by orders of Council. There shall be no expulsion or removal of any member without the concurrence of at least two-thirds (2/3) of all the remaining members of Council including the President of Council and only when the accused member shall have been notified in writing of the charge against him at least fifteen (15) days in advance of any hearing upon such charge, and the member has an opportunity to be heard, to be represented by legal counsel, to present evidence, and to examine under oath, any witness in support of such charge. (Amended 11-8-88.)
