Book Description
The evolutionary nature of municipal government is often projected through the changing of its structural elements. The conflict that arises between defenders of the current system and those who wish to modify it to meet perceived deficiencies is part of the on-going American political struggle between efficiency and equity. For the researcher, one question of interest is whether or not significant change has resulted in the adoption of a new, modified, governmental form and, if so, what specific types of changes have and have not occurred. This is a study of the Cincinnati, Ohio, council-manager government in transition. Voters in Cincinnati, Ohio, adopted a "stronger mayor" governmental form in May,1999, which took effect in December of 2001. Empirically analyzing the motivations and expectations of elites - those actively involved both for and against the change - enables a determination to be made as to whether the change to "stronger mayor" significantly altered the way municipal government is perceived to now operate. A series of quantitative and qualitative questions were asked of 'elites, ' both before the change to "stronger mayor" and after the change. This enabled an empirical comparison to be made between the way mayoral, council, and city manager roles and relationships have and have not been perceived to have changed as a result of the adoption of the new governmental form. Elites interviewed included leaders of the city's three political parties, current and former public officials, legislative aides, and political activists all of whom were engaged in either supporting or opposing the "stronger mayor" ballot initiative. Findings indicated that significant perceptual change did occur, particularly in regard to the mayor's power and roles at city hall, council's relationship with the mayor and city manager, the city manager's policy role, and a change from a generally negative to a cautiously positive perception of relationships between council members themselves. Despite arguments by supporters that "stronger mayor" would enhance efficiency and equity, that has not happened. This study also found that a major impact upon the perceptions of elites was the result of the impact of term limits which, although adopted several years prior, only recently began to have a major impact on the political process. This study contributes principally to the literature of municipal government in two ways. It is empirical, and more works based upon qualitative examinations are needed in the literature to provide measures and to permit comparisons to be made. Further, this research provides support for the argument of those who believe that a "convergence" is taking place between the strong mayor and council-manager forms of municipal government.

Book Description
Different forms of city government are in widespread use across the United States. The two most common structures are the mayor-council form and the council-manager form. In many large U.S. cities, there have been passionate movements to change the structure of city governments and equally intense efforts to defend an existing structure. Charter change (or preservation) is supported to solve problems such as legislative gridlock, corruption, weak executive leadership, short-range policies, or ineffective delivery of services. Some of these cities changed their form of government through referendum while other cities chose to retain the form in use. More than Mayor or Manager offers in-depth case studies of fourteen large U.S. cities that have considered changing their form of government over the past two decades: St. Petersburg, Florida; Spokane, Washington; Hartford, Connecticut; Richmond, Virginia; San Diego, California; Oakland, California; Kansas City, Missouri; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Dallas, Texas; Cincinnati, Ohio; El Paso, Texas; Topeka, Kansas; St. Louis, Missouri; and Portland, Oregon. The case studies shed light on what these constitutional contests teach us about different forms of government—the causes that support movements for change, what the advocates of change promised, what is at stake for the nature of elected and professional leadership and the relationship between leaders, and why some referendums succeeded while others failed. This insightful volume will be of special interest to leaders and interest groups currently considering or facing efforts to change the form of government as well as scholars in the field of urban studies.
