has qualified. The Governor and the Mayor, respectively, may remove any
member of the Board appointed by him or her in case of incompetency, neglect of
duty, or malfeasance in office. They may give him or her a copy of the charges
against him or her and an opportunity to be publicly heard in person or by counsel
in his or her own defense upon not less than 10 days' notice. The Governor may remove any member in response to a summary report received from the Executive Inspector General in accordance with Section 20-50 of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, provided he or she has an opportunity to be publicly heard in person or by counsel prior to removal. In case of failure

shall become vacant. Each vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term by
appointment in like manner, and with like regard as to the place of
