§ 15. Recall election.

The City Secretary shall at once examine the recall petition, and if he finds it sufficient and in compliance with the provisions of this Article of the Charter, he shall submit it to the City Council at its next meeting with his certificate to that effect and notify the officer sought to be recalled of such action. If the officer whose removal is sought does not resign within five [(5)] days after such notice, the City Council shall thereupon order and fix a date for holding a recall election. Any such election shall be held at the next authorized election date that is more than thirty (30) days after the passage by the Council.
