(A) City employees. The City Council may summarily suspend with or without pay and relieve from duty an employee accused of misconduct pending an investigation into the allegations. An employee normally shall be summarily suspended when:
(1) He/she is under investigation for a felony crime when the proof is great, or serious misconduct when the presumption is great.
(2) He/she is physically or mentally unable to perform duties satisfactorily (as determined by his/her supervisor).
(3) No crime or misconduct is alleged, but activity resulting in death or great bodily harm to a human being, due to its severe nature, requires intense and prudent investigation.
(B) Members of boards and commissions. The City Council may suspend the activities of appointed members of any board or commission pending an investigation into alleged misconduct. Members of boards and commissions will normally be suspended or censured for reasons found above.
