(65 ILCS 5/3.1-35-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-35-10)
Sec. 3.1-35-10.
Mayor or president; removal of appointed officer.
Except where otherwise provided by statute, the mayor or president may
remove any officer appointed by the mayor or president under this Code, on
any written charge,
whenever the mayor or president is of the opinion that the interests of the
municipality demand
removal. The mayor or president shall report the reasons for the
removal to the corporate authorities at
a meeting to be held not less than 5 nor more than 10 days after the
removal. If the mayor or president fails or refuses to report to the
corporate authorities the reasons
for the removal, or if the corporate authorities by a two-thirds vote of all
members
authorized by law to be elected disapprove of the removal, the officer
thereupon shall be restored to the office from which the officer was removed.
The
vote shall be by yeas and nays, which shall be entered upon the journal of
the corporate authorities. Upon restoration, the officer shall give a new
bond and take a new
oath of office. No officer shall be removed a second time for the same
offense.
