City Election Change
The City Commission in the spring of 2017 had discussed moving the odd-year city elections to even years, adding city commissioner candidates to the ballot with state, congressional, and presidential candidates.
On May 16, 2017, the City Commission approved moving city elections from odd to even years going forward, those elected in the fall of 2017 will serve three-year terms. Starting in 2020, terms will return to two years.
