If a recall petition, or amended petition as defined in Article VIII, Section 3, shall be certified by the city secretary to be sufficient the city secretary shall at once submit it to the commission with the city secretary’s certificate to that effect and notify the member whose removal is sought of such action. If the member of the commission whose removal is sought does not resign within five days after such notice, the commission shall thereupon fix a day for holding a recall election as provided in state law. Any such election shall be held not less than forty-five nor more than sixty days after the petition has been presented to the commission, and at the same time as any other special or general election held within such period; but if no such election is to be held within such period, the commission shall call a special election to be held within the time aforesaid.
In case of a recall election for a district commissioner, only qualified voters residing in the subject commissioner’s district shall be eligible to vote in the recall election. (Ord. 19-31, passed 11-18-2019)
