§ 5-1004. Removal of the city manager

The city manager may be removed from office by a majority vote of the city council. At least thirty days prior to the effective date of such removal, the city council shall by majority vote of its members adopt a resolution stating the reason for the removal, and cause a copy of such resolution to be given to the manager. The manager shall have the right to reply in writing and request a public hearing upon the reasons for the dismissal. The public hearing in this matter shall be held not earlier than twenty nor later than thirty days after the filing of a request for public hearing with the city clerk. The city council may by such resolution immediately suspend the manager from active duty, but shall continue the manager's salary until final dismissal, at which time any unpaid balance of the manager's salary for the next three calendar months shall be paid.
