Hearing Set for Proposal to Restructure Council
From Times Staff Reports
A proposal to add City Council seats and make the mayor’s post an elected one will be the topic of a public hearing tonight.
Under the plan, council districts would be created and the number of members would be increased to seven from five. Also under consideration is whether council members would be elected at large or by district.
The mayor is now chosen from among council members and serves a one-year term. Under the proposal, the mayor would be elected by voters and serve a four-year term.
