Section 1. Every person elected to a position in the Lelu

      including a Judge. The procedure to remove an

      employee or an appointee of the Lelu Town

      Government shall be provided by ordinance. 

Section 2. An elected official of the Lelu Town

      Government including a Judge may be removed if

      this Charter or by ordinance. To remove an elected

      official, one-third of the registered voters of Lelu

      Town must sign a petition to remove the official.

      Upon receipt of such petition, the Council shall

      verify that one-third of the registered voters of Lelu

      Town have signed the petition and then must call a

      special meeting to determine the truth of the

      complaint in the petition. If the Council is satisfied

      with the contents of the petition and two-thirds of

      the Council approve, then a special election shall be

      held to elect a replacement. If the person removed

      is a Judge, the Mayor may appoint a replacement

      according to ordinance. 

Section 3. Embezzlement or misuse of municipal funds

      shall be grounds for a petition for recall or removal
