  1. Allow voters to rank candidates in order of preference, using ranked-choice voting.
  2. Establish four geographic districts, with three city council members elected to represent each district - expanding city council to a total of 1 2 members.
  3. Establish the city council to focus on setting policy and engaging with community, transitioning day-to-day oversight of bureaus to a mayor elected citywide and a professional city administrator. In November 2024, 1 2 City councilors were elected from four different districts. Councilors will no longer directly oversee city bureaus but will focus on setting policies to achieve desired community outcomes. They will convene public meetings, gather input, debate, evaluate policy choices, and adopt laws to reflect those choices. 260
