A vacancy in the Council, whether it be in the office of <br />Mayor or Councilmember, shall be deemed to exist in case of the failure of any person <br />elected thereto to qualify, or by reason of the death, resignation in writing filed with the City <br />Administrator, removal from office, non-residence in the City, conviction of a felony of any <br />such person after their election, or by reason of the failure of any Councilmember without <br />good cause to attend Council meetings for a period of three consecutive months. In each <br />such case the Council shall by resolution declare the vacancy to exist. <br /> <br />Section 3.06. Emergency Ordinances.
