Removal of member: Grounds; procedure

For inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, a member may be removed by the appointing officer, but only after he or she has been given a copy of the charges at least 10 days prior to a public hearing on such charges and has had an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. If a member is removed, a record of the proceedings and the charges and findings shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the community.
