Dayton Vote Set on Commission Manager Government
Dayton voters will decide on August 13 whether to keep the commission-manager system adopted in 1913 as the first large US city. A nine-commissioner, partisan council would replace the current five nonpartisan at large commissioners, with the city manager serving under a strong mayor. The outcome could trigger a September primary and November general elections for the new structure.
