§ 20-15. Vacancies and removal.


Latest version.
  • In the event any vacancy occurs for any reason, the mayor shall appoint and the city council shall confirm a successor in the manner provided in section 20-11 hereof to serve out the remainder of the term for that post. No successor may vote on any park and recreation advisory board matter until confirmed.

    Any member who fails to attend three (3) consecutive regular meetings or who fails to attend five (5) regular or duly called special meetings shall be automatically suspended and a vacancy shall be declared, unless five (5) of the remaining members shall vote to reinstate such person within thirty (30) days after the vacancy is declared.

    The mayor may remove any member for malfeasance, non-feasance or other good cause shown.

    The above requirements do not apply to the president of the Tupelo Sports League Council. Any vacancy must be filled and any removal of this member of the park and recreation advisory board must be by a majority vote of the voting members of the Tupelo Sports League Council.
