Going forward…
Did you know that for the 2015 Mayor/City Council Election all nine seats will be voted at-large and with term limits?
Did you know that during the fall of 2014, hopefuls will begin passing petitions throughout the city in order to garnish enough signatures from registered voters to run on the 2015 Consolidated Election ballot to serve one of eight seats on City Council as well as the Mayor? In other words, all members of City Council and the Mayor will begin again with a chance to serve up to three terms as part-time elected officials for the City of Naperville Council/Manager form of government.
