More Choice San Diego

Diane Mosely, VP will explain why bringing Ranked Choice Voting to San Diego will give voters more choices, create more competition, promote more diverse ideas, and encourage civil campaigns.

Strong Mayor & Council President

After a five-year trial period that began on Jan 1, 2006 San Diego moved from a Council-City Manager to a Mayor-Council ("Strong Mayor") form of government 10 years ago, at the start of 2011.

The Mayor was removed from the legislative body, and installed as the de facto executive director of the departments and employees overseeing the City's day-to-day operations.

This change also introduced the concept of a Council President, chosen annually by a majority vote of the Council, to chair and set the agenda of the City Council meetings, and to make committee appointments.

"Throughout the transition to a Strong Mayor Form of Governance, the City Council sought to expand the number of Council Committees and redefine their role and purpose, choosing to funnel more legislative items to Council Committees to allow for increased public input and a fuller vetting process before items were sent to the full Council for consideration."
