Latest version.
  • The City Manager shall be the chief executive and head of the administrative branch of the City government and shall be chosen by the Council solely on the basis of training, experience, and administrative qualifications. The City Manager shall be appointed for an indefinite period and may be removed by the Council at any time; but after serving as Manager for one year, the Manager may demand written charges and a public hearing before the date of final removal takes effect. Written charges, if demanded, shall be furnished a reasonable time before the public hearing. After such hearing, if one is demanded, the Council shall have unlimited discretion either to reinstate the Manager or make removal final. Pending such hearing and removal, the Council may suspend the Manager from office. The Council may designate some properly qualified person to perform the duties of the Manager during the Manager's absence, disability, suspension, or while the office of the Manager is vacant.
