    So, the proposal is to put a ballot measure to eliminate an elected mayor – does this mean the council will appoint the mayor going forward, or no mayor at all?

    Where can we read the full proposal??

      Dumb idea! It is more of a ego trip for council members to get to be “Mayor for a Year”, which means for the rest of their lives they will be called “Mayor” (being a Council Member just doesn’t get you the same “honor” lol).

      Antioch needs to have a directly elected Mayor!
