Administrative History
The optional city government management plans were adopted under the Home Rule Power Act of 1914. Under the Home Rule Act city governments had the option of choosing the type of government they wanted. They could choose to have a city manager, a mayor and a council, a limited council with a city manager, or a council making all decisions affecting the city. Citizens voted on these choices on Election Day and then the decisions were filed with the Department of State.
