A commissioner of the port authority of Cannon Falls or Redwood Falls may be removed by the city council for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct in office. A commissioner may be removed only after a hearing. A copy of the charges must be given to the commissioner at least ten days before the hearing. The commissioner must be given an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel at the hearing. After the charges have been submitted to a commissioner, the city council may temporarily suspend the commissioner. If the city council finds that the charges have not been substantiated, the commissioner shall be immediately reinstated. If a commissioner is removed, a record of the proceedings, together with the charges and findings, must be filed in the office of the city clerk.
