“We agreed this past spring that we should be held accountable, like our city worker colleagues, to the city’s harassment policy,” said Alderwoman
JoCasta Zamarripa at a Monday afternoon meeting of the Common Council’s Judiciary & Legislation Committee.
Turns out that’s simple in theory, complicated in reality.
A proposal, sponsored by Zamarripa and Alderman
Michael Murphy, would allow elected and appointed officials to be removed from office by a simple majority vote of council members for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, official misconduct or malfeasance.” Officials currently can only be removed for malfeasance.
