§ 3.6. Vacancies.

Latest version.

A Council member shall continue to hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. A vacancy shall occur whenever any Council member absences himself from four consecutive regular meetings or twenty-five (25) percent of all meetings in any twelve (12) months period, or commits misconduct in office, or if a Council member shall become a non-resident of the City or of the Ward in which he was nominated. In case of a vacancy, the remaining Council members shall choose, by majority vote and within thirty days after such vacancy occurs, a duly qualified person to fill such vacancy.

He shall serve until his successor, elected for the remainder of the term at the next ensuing City wide election, resulting sixty days after such vacancy occurs, has been duly qualified. If three or more such vacancies exist in the Council simultaneously, such vacancies shall be filled for the respective unexpired terms at a special election.
