The council debated whether to have residents pick their mayor, voting 4-3 to keep working on the idea, and as a result, to not put the issue on the November ballot.
A committee proposed a two-year term for a voter-elected mayor that could be adjusted to four years or back to two years after the current term.
Council members against the idea raised concerns about lack of resident input, while proponents see it as empowering voters and potentially diversifying mayoral representation.
