4-Year Council Terms
Give councilors enough time to learn complex issues, lead effectively, and build a record voters can fairly evaluate.
Staggered Elections
Keep experienced members serving as newly elected councilors learn the job while long-term work continues.
Reasonable Term Limits
Allow valuable experience while ensuring regular opportunities for fresh ideas and new community leadership.
Six Ward-Elected Councilors
Preserves geographic representation while encouraging each councilor to consider a broader cross-section of Corvallis.
What Stays The Same
Every ward still elects its own councilor. The Mayor’s existing voting role does not change.
