There are a lot of ways a city official can get removed from office. Just missing half the meetings in a 4-month span is one such trigger.

§11-8-107. Removal of officers.

A municipal elected official may be removed from office for any cause specified by applicable state law for the removal of officers, and by the method or methods prescribed thereby.

Laws 1977, c. 256, § 8-107, eff. July 1, 1978.

§11-8-108. Absence from governing body meetings.

Whenever a member of the municipal governing body is absent from more than one-half of all meetings of the governing body, regular and special, held within any period of four (4) consecutive months, he shall thereupon cease to hold office.

Laws 1977, c. 256, § 8-108, eff. July 1, 1978.
