(c) A commissioner shall be deemed to have acquiesced in a willful violation by the authority of a law of this state or of any term, provision or covenant contained in a contract to which the authority is a party, if, before a hearing is held on the charges against the commissioner, the commissioner has not filed with the authority a written statement of the commissioner's objections to or lack of participation in such violation.
(d) In the event of the removal of any commissioner, the mayor shall file in the office of the city clerk a record of the proceedings, together with the charges made against the commissioner and the findings thereon.
