Note: 1.

Mayors prior to June 1988 were elected to the office of Councilmember; the Council elected one of its members to serve as Mayor on a yearly basis. 2. Substitution of the titles of "Chairman" and "Vice Chairman" for "Mayor" and "Mayor Pro Tempore" was included in Ordinance 160, adopted January 27, 1976, becoming effective February 26, 1976. Art Anthony used the title "Chairman" for the Council meeting of March 1, 1976. David Sills was elected "Chairman" on March 9, 1976. The titles were changed back to "Mayor" and "Mayor Pro Tempore" by Ordinance No. 169, adopted June 22, 1976; effective July 22, 1976. The last use of the title "Chairman" was July 14, 1976. 3. Mayors beginning with the June 1988 election were directly elected by the voters of the City for 2-year terms. 4. Beginning in 1986, Councilmembers were limited to two (2) full consecutive full terms of four (4) years each term. When the Charter was amended in 1987 to provide for a directly-elected Mayor, the term limitation was also applied to that office: two (2) full terms of two (2) years each.
