A city charter overhaul would cut the 11-member council to seven, end councilman at large posts, and set the mayor’s term at four years or two two-year terms. The mayor would not chair the police commission and wards would form a seven-person city committee. Finance committee members could include two appointed by the council. All elected board members would be paid 250 dollars yearly, with recall and referendum provisions. The full draft runs in the Biddeford-Saco Journal on page 3.
