§ 2827. Removal of authority members. Except as otherwise provided in
this chapter, every member of every authority or commission heretofore
or hereafter continued or created by this chapter, except ex-officio
members, that is, members whose membership results by virtue of their
incumbency of a public office, shall be removable by the public officer
or public body which is empowered by this chapter to appoint such
authority or commission member, for inefficiency, breach of fiduciary
duty, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, provided, however, that
such member shall be given a copy of the charges against him and an
opportunity of being heard in person, or by counsel, in his or her
defense upon not less than ten days' notice.
