<br />Explanatory Note: The amendatory language in the three foregoing sections is
<br />necessary to implement the recommendation that the mayor of Paris be elected by the
<br />voters at large. The current approach is a long-standing result of a federal court order
<br />stemming from the 1965 Voting Rights Act. There are approximately 350 home rule cities
<br />in Texas. According to the latest survey, 94% of mayors in council-manager cities are
<br />elected at large. The other 6% are elected by their colleagues on the city council, as in
<br />the Paris case. It is thought that election at large will generally enhance the mayor's
<br />leadership and powers of persuasion and will also promote greater voter turnout in local
<br />elections.

<br />Explanatory Note: It is thought that creating departments is a valid responsibility of
<br />policy makers but distributing work within those departments is an administrative matter
<br />clearly under the jurisdiction of the city manager.
