City council usually hires and fires the manager. You can effect changes by your votes at the polls or by proper written petition to council. If they ignore you run against them or get someone else to do so

You would need to complain to the city which is the managers employer.

This depends on the city charter. It may be a recall petition.

Depends on the City Charter. There could be an impeachment process, or recall. Is the city manager elected or appointed? If elected, then work to defeat him in the next election. If appointed, work to defeat whoever appointed him.

Certainly, there will be some form or means to remove a city manager who is not doing his job from office. The rights and possibilities will be found in the city charter. Hire an attorney to review it for you.
