(b) Reinstatement.--
(1) A police officer suspended by the mayor may not be reinstated by council at a date earlier than ten working days from the date fixed by the mayor for the suspension to commence.
(2) In any case in which the council has reinstated a police officer after having been suspended by the mayor, the mayor shall not suspend the police officer for reasons:
(i) arising from the same act for which the first suspension was made; or
(ii) that the council, in reinstating the police officer, determined not to be grounds for suspension.
