The Mayor shall supervise the conduct of all officers of the city and see that they faithfully and efficiently discharge the duties of their respective offices. The Mayor shall have the power to remove any officer appointed by him on any formal charge whenever the Mayor shall be of the opinion that the interests of the city demand such removal, but the Mayor shall report the reasons for the removal to the City Council, to be heard not less than five days nor more than ten days after such removal. If the Mayor shall fail or refuse to file with the City Clerk a statement of the reasons for such removal, or if the City Council, by a two-thirds vote by yeas and nays of all its members authorized by law to be elected, to be entered upon its record, disapprove of such removal, such officer shall thereupon become restored to the office from which the person was so removed, but the person shall give a new bond and take a new oath of office. No officer shall be removed a second time for the same offense.
