With the consent of the governing body, the executive officer may remove a non-ex officio director for inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, but only after the director has been given a copy of the charges against him and has had an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. In the event of the removal of any such director, the executive officer shall file in the office of the clerk a record of the proceedings, together with the charges made against the director and the findings thereon. Such removal shall not constitute a bar to any other action, civil or criminal, which may be taken by appropriate authorities.
