Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15 (2026) § 15-213
COMPENSATION; REMOVAL
Operative Text
Members of the commission shall receive no compensation for their services but shall be reimbursed for their expenses actually and necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties. Any member of the commission may be removed by the mayor for inefficiency, neglect of duty, misconduct or malfeasance in office, after being given a written statement of the charges and an opportunity to be heard thereon. (Ord. 2123, § 7, passed 3-10-1980)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. VI § 15-213, members of the city commission serve without pay but are entitled to reimbursement for expenses that are genuinely and necessarily tied to their official duties. The provision also establishes a removal process: the mayor may remove a commissioner for reasons such as inefficiency, neglect, misconduct, or malfeasance, but only after the member receives written notice of the charges and a chance to respond. This structure balances volunteer public service with a basic procedural protection against arbitrary dismissal.
