The general manager may be removed from office by resolution. Before the general manager may be removed, he shall, if he so demands, be given a written statement of the grounds for his removal, and he shall have the right to be publicly heard thereon at a meeting of the board prior to the final vote on the resolution providing for his removal. Pending and during such hearing, the board may suspend him from office, and without payment of salary, for a period of not to exceed 30 days. The board may not reduce the salary of the general manager below the amount currently being received by him, except upon the adoption of a resolution after a like opportunity to be publicly heard. The action of the board in suspending or removing the general manager, or reducing his salary, is final.
