I would like to have the mayor and councilmen serve for two years each term.

Five Councilmen ... one for each side of town, and one at large would work just fine, but what concerns me is dropping the elected Mayor and hiring an administrator who would have no term limit.

Time was, not too many years ago that the county wanted to do something like that and the voters said no.

I think they should definitely look at re-districting.  With all of the population loss, it
makes sense to reduce the number of members on the city council.

They should elimininate the salaries they gave themselves, which were originally intended
for their administrative aides, and go back to the original salaries.
