SUNSET HILLS • The Sunset Hills Board of Alderman took no action tonight on two measures that could potentially lead to the ouster of Mayor Mark Furrer.

After a nearly two-hour closed session, the aldermen adjourned the meeting without acting on two proposals: One that introduces "an ordinance providing for impeachment and removal of officers;" the second is for an ordinance "authorizing the City of Sunset Hills to execute a contract retaining special legal counsel for the limited purpose of providing advice and direction with respect to the possible removal from office of an elected official."

A two-thirds vote of the board is required to remove an elected official "for cause shown," the bill says. Cause "includes crime, misconduct, habitual drunkenness, willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, incompetency, or any offense involving moral turpitude or oppression in office."

Alderman Dee Baebler said the measures would be on the agenda for the board's next meeting on Nov. 11.

Furrer, 60, was charged Oct. 1 with running a bicyclist off a road in late July. Furrer, who has denied the allegations, has said he will not resign his seat.
