The Bend City Council will be discussing possibly changing the way the City's Mayor is elected during its work session today. There seems to be interest in having voters elect Bend's Mayor instead of having the Councilors themselves decide who should be Mayor. City Manger Eric King says it would involve changing the City's Charter. “I think the pros are citizens are more involved in leadership and the investment in that and the cons, the Mayor can have a different agenda, so it’s not as collegial.” If the Council decides to go forward, the City Charter would have to be changed and voters would have to approve it.
