Sec. 2-12. Punishing and expelling members.[18]

The council may, by a majority vote of its whole number,
punish one of its own members for disorderly behavior by a
fine not exceeding three hundred dollars and, by a two-thirds
vote of its whole number, expel a member of its own body
for malfeasance or misfeasance in office. Fines imposed under
this section shall be collected in such manner as fines imposed
by the judge of the municipal court. (Code 1959, § 2-12.)
