The voters of the City shall have power to recall and remove from office any member of the Council before the expiration of his term, such power being known as the recall. A recall may be started by filing with the Clerk of Council a petition signed by a number of electors which equals twenty-five (25) per cent of the total number of electors voting at the last preceding Municipal election. This petition shall contain the name of the person whose removal is sought and a statement in not more than two hundred (200) words of the grounds for the removal. The Councilman whose removal is being sought shall be given an opportunity to reply with a statement of equal length. These statements shall be given to newspapers, radios and television stations. The Clerk, if he finds the petition sufficient, shall certify to the Board of Elections, to be placed on the ballot the question: "Shall John Doe (naming the Councilman) be recalled from office as Councilman in the City of Willard? Yes ( ), No ( )." If, at the election a majority of the votes cast on the question shall be in favor of recall, the Council member shall forthwith retire from office, and the Council shall fill the vacancy thus created in the manner provided in this Charter. No recall shall be filed against a Council member during his first six months in office. If a Council member against whom a petition is filed is continued in office by the vote at the election no further recall petitions may be filed against him for a period of one year.
