If adopted by the <br />electorate, this would change the current system of electing members to the City Council. <br />Under the existing ordinance, members of the City Council must reside in specific districts and <br />only the residents in those districts vote for their representative on the City Council. Under the <br />proposed ordinance all voters in the City will vote for all councilmembers, but the <br />councilmembers must reside in the current electoral districts. The Mayor would continue to be <br />elected at -large. <br />The financial effect on the City would be that the cost of City Council elections <br />would be increased due to the fact that in each Council election, all voters in the City will be <br />voting. <br />Concurrence: <br />�h 4AAC,�� <br />Gracie Fern4AZ Iftarmon, Acting City Manager <br />Item No. 24 <br />
