Residents hear trade-offs between rotating mayor, directly elected mayor and strong-mayor models
Working-group members described mayoral options—one-year rotating mayor, multi-year rotation, directly elected mayor, and a strong-mayor model—outlining the trade-offs for representation, continuity, and executive authority. Attendees asked about voting power, veto authority, and whether districts would change (they would not as part of this discussion).
