Removal of City Manager
Sacramento City Charter § 63
in effect§ 63 Removal of City Manager
The city manager cannot be removed from office except by a vote of six members of the city council. The city manager shall not be subject to removal from office within twelve months of the date that the city manager first assumes the duties of office except for incompetence, malfeasance, misfeasance or neglect of duty. If the removal is proposed within the first twelve months, the city manager may demand written charges and a public hearing before the city council prior to the date upon which his removal becomes effective; but the decision of the city council shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the city manager, and pending such hearing the council may suspend the city manager from duty without loss of normal compensation.
