7-day suspension with pay…so he, like, gets a paid vacation for having terrible conduct?

There often aren't a lot of actions that can be taken against elected officials. I'm not sure if there's much else they could do.

Seems like suspension without pay would be reasonable. That said, I have no idea what Gimil’s charter or laws or like. Probably a part of civics I should brush up on.

It's a completely different promise, but the saga of the mayor of Kamloops is kind of enlightening.
