Appointment and qualification of manager. The council shall appoint a city manager, who shall be chosen solely on the basis of executive and administrative qualifications with special reference to actual experience in, or knowledge of, accepted practice in respect to the duties of the office of manager as hereinafter set forth. At the time of appointment, the manager need not be a resident of the city of Englewood or the State of New Jersey, but while in office he may reside outside the city only with the approval of the council.
Section 6.2
Manager's term; removal.
The manager shall hold office for an indefinite term and may be removed by a majority vote of the full membership of the council. At least thirty days before such removal shall become effective, the council shall, by a majority vote of the full membership of the council, adopt a preliminary resolution stating the reasons for removal. The manager may reply in writing and may request a public hearing, which shall be held not earlier than twenty days or later than thirty days after the filing of such request. After such public hearing, if one be requested, and after full consideration, the council by majority vote of the full membership of the council, may adopt a final resolution of removal. By the preliminary resolution or by resolution thereafter adopted, the council may suspend the manager from duty, or may suspend the manager's power to exercise any portion of the manager's powers but in such case the manager shall continue to receive his salary and, in the event of adoption of a final resolution of removal, the manager shall be entitled to receive salary for the next three calendar months following adoption of such final resolution of removal.
