What’s in it

Under Code section 372.15, any person appointed to city office may be removed from office by written order from the officer or body making the appointment. This bill provides that notwithstanding Code section 372.15, board members of city utilities established under Code chapter 388 may only be removed from office pursuant to Code section 66.1A. Code section 66.1A provides for the removal of appointed or elected officers by the district court for certain reasons, including neglect or refusal to perform duties, misconduct or maladministration, corruption, extortion, conviction of a felony, intoxication, or conviction of a violation of Code chapter 68A. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
