All members of Council shall have been qualified electors and residents of the City for at least one year immediately prior to the time of filing for office, and shall continue to be qualified electors of the City during their respective terms of office. No member of Council shall hold any other office or employment with the City, except as otherwise allowed by this Charter or by ordinance of the Council.
Any member of Council who shall cease to possess or who violates any of the qualifications of office herein provided; who is finally convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude; or who fails to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the Council, unless such absence is excused by a majority vote of the members present at such meeting or a subsequent meeting of the Council, shall be subject to forfeiture of their office in the manner provided by Section 3.09 of this Charter. A member of Council shall not vote upon the question of their removal or whether their absence from a regular meeting should be excused. Failure to maintain such qualifications shall not render void or ineffective any action of the Council in which such member participated.
