The City of Lawrence is seeking feedback from community members on two proposed changes to the city’s governmental structure, as city leaders consider adding a question to the November election ballot. One of those changes would see a nonpartisan mayor elected directly to a four-year term, a change from the current arrangement where the commission chooses one of its own members each year to serve a one-year term as mayor. The other would create six voting districts in Lawrence, bumping the size of the commission up from five to six members, each serving staggered four-year terms.
