Re: At-Large Council Terms
Date: June 16, 1993
As you requested at your last meeting, I contacted several Cities regarding election
procedures of At-Large Councils.
In contacting eleven Cities, I have compiled the following information:
None At-Large - 4
All At-Large - 5
Rochester has 6 Council - 1 Mayor
6 Ward Council
1 Council President (At-Large)
1 Mayor
Council President & Mayor run at opposite elections.
Crystal has 6 Council
4 Wards -three year terms
2 Sections -three year terms
The Two Section Councilpersons represent as follows:
Section 1-Ward 1 & 2
Section 2-Ward 3 & 4
When Ward 1 & 2 are up for election, so is the Section 2 (representing Ward 3 & 4).
When Ward 3 & 4 are up for election, so is the Section 1 (representing Ward 1 & 2).
I found the Metro Area and larger communities have fewer on the Council than smaller
outlying communities.
If you have questions or want additional information please contact me, otherwise I will
have full detail at the Charter Commission meeting.
