The city council retains the sole discretion to appoint, reappoint, and remove municipal court judges. The creation of the judicial performance commission shall not in any fashion abridge the authority possessed by the city council. The commission serves as an advisory body to the city council, and its evaluations shall be considered solely recommendations for the benefit of the city council. (Code 1979, § 8-406; Ord. No. 2005-12, § 85, 4-11-2005)
