The county auditor may be suspended or removed at the pleasure of the county commission
by a majority vote of the county commission. In case of suspension or removal, the
county auditor shall be given a written statement of the reasons for such action.
He may, within five days from receipt thereof, request a public hearing thereon before
the county commission, which request shall be filed with the clerk of the county commission.
Upon receipt of such request, a hearing shall be set not earlier than ten days, nor
later than 15 days from the date of such request. Pending such hearing, and until
final action has been taken thereon, the county auditor may be suspended from office
and all of the duties thereof performed by some other person designated by the county
commission to perform such duties. The action of the county commission in suspending
or removing the county auditor shall be final; provided however, that during the period
of 12 months immediately following the appointment of any person to the office of
county auditor, such person may be removed at will by the county commission or other
governing authority, without notice, without cause, and without the necessity of any
public or private hearing, it being the intention of this provision that a newly appointed
county auditor shall be on probation for a period of 12 months following his election
and qualification.
