There is hereby created, for the purpose of hearing and determining charges made against an officer or member of the Fire Department, a Board to be known as the Trial Board, which shall be composed of the members of the Civil Service Board. The verdict and judgment of a majority of the Trial Board shall be final. If the accused be found guilty, the Trial Board may dismiss him from the service of the City or inflict such other punishment upon him as in the judgment of the Board shall be adequate; provided, however, that should an officer or member of the Fire Department be found guilty of a charge of drunkenness on duty, the Trial Board must dismiss him from the service of the City. If an officer or member of the Fire Department be convicted of a felony or malfeasance in office, or be adjudged insane, or absent himself from the City for more than ten (10) working days without leave, the Trial Board shall, upon the recommendation of the City Manager, declare his position or office vacant and the vacancy shall be filled as heretofore provided. (Amended November 8, 1988)
