Keep our citizen council
Kristian Knutsen
When able to meet in person, the Common Council meets on the second floor of the City County Building.
If you live in Madison, on your April ballot youâll find a series of questions about the makeup of the city council.Â
These are advisory questions only. Any changes would have to be approved by the council in separate action and some would require approval in another referendum, which would be binding. The questions spring from recommendations made by a task force that proposed several changes to how Madison city government operates.Â
Taken as a whole the changes to the council would make our part-time, 20-member council, a full-time 10-member body. Council membersâ pay would be boosted from about $13,000 a year to about $65,000, terms would go from two to four years and a 12-year term limit would be imposed.
