• Mayoral Term of Office: <br /> Residents were asked: <br /> Many suburban communities have <br /> switched the length of term in <br /> office for their Mayors from two <br /> years to four years, the term of <br /> other City Council members. <br /> Would you favor or oppose chang- <br /> • ing the term of the Mayor of Mounds <br /> View from two years to four years? <br /> • Do you feel strongly that way? <br /> By a fifty-two percent to thirty-nine percent division, residents <br /> favored this change: <br /> STRONGLY FAVOR 24% <br /> FAVOR 28% <br /> OPPOSE 15% <br /> STRONGLY OPPOSE 24% <br /> DON'T KNOW/REFUSED 9% <br /> • The change, itself, might prove to be a controversial issue, <br /> though. Intense support and intense opposition was equal. <br /> This change was "strongly favored" by those planning to stay <br /> in Mounds View for the rest of their lives, senior couples, <br /> Clerical-Sales households, and $50, 000-$62 , 500 yearly income <br /> households. It was "favored" by less than two year residents, <br /> - those planning to stay 3-5 years in the future, and 55-64 year <br /> olds. The term change was "strongly opposed" by those planning <br /> to stay in Mounds View over ten years, 18-24 year olds, and under <br /> $12,500 yearly income households. <br /> The City may wish to proceed with this charter change; <br /> however, an aggressive information campaign should be undertaken <br /> in order to better inform the electorate. <br />
