Sec. 215-45.
Board members; removal; vacancy in office.
Members of the Board shall hold office until their respective
successors have been appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from
his office to take effect when his successor has been appointed and has
qualified. The appointing officer may remove any member of the Board appointed
by him, in case of incompetency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office,
after service on him, by registered United States mail, return requested,
of a copy of the written charges against him and an opportunity to be publicly
heard in person or by counsel in his own defense upon not less than 10 days
notice. This same action may be taken against the City Manager of Rock
Island and the City Administrator of Moline by their respective city
councils. In case of failure to qualify within the time required, or of
abandonment
of his office, or in case of death, conviction of a felony or removal from
office, his office shall become vacant. Each vacancy or position
succession shall be filled for
the unexpired term by appointment in like manner, as in case of expiration
of the term of a member of the Board.
