§ 113.055. GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL. (a) It is a ground for
removal from the council that a member:
(1) does not have at the time of taking office the
qualifications required by this chapter;
(2) does not maintain during service on the council
the qualifications required by this chapter;
(3) cannot, because of illness or disability,
discharge the member's duties for a substantial part of the member's
term; or
(4) is absent from more than half of the regularly
scheduled council meetings that the member is eligible to attend
during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote
of the council.
(b) The validity of an action of the council is not affected
by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a council
member exists.
(c) If the commissioner has knowledge that a potential
ground for removal exists, the commissioner shall notify the
presiding officer of the council of the potential ground. The
presiding officer shall then notify the attorney general that a
potential ground for removal exists. If the potential ground for
removal involves the presiding officer, the director shall notify
the next highest ranking officer or most senior member of the
council, who shall then notify the attorney general that a
potential ground for removal exists.
