Bakersfield City Council : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bakersfield City Council
The Bakersfield City Council is the main governing body for Bakersfield, California. Under the council-manager form of government, the city council is the most powerful branch of government. It has seven members who represent seven wards. The city council meetings are presided over by the elected mayor.〔(About Bakersfield's Form of Government ). City of Bakersfield. Accessed: 05-14-2010.〕 ==Powers and duties== The powers and duties are listed in Article III of the Bakersfield City Charter. Their primary function is the passing of ordinances for: raising revenue, appropriating money from the treasury, and regulations for the city. The specific duties, which ordinances passed to fulfill, are listed in Article III, section 12. There are too many to list here, but generally include all powers a city would need to provide proper services and maintain order for its citizens.〔''Bakersfield City Charter''. Article III, Section 12.〕 Ordinances are voted on by the city council and a majority vote is needed to pass it. However, approval by the mayor or other official is not needed for the measure to become active. As a result, any measure with enough votes will become active 30 days after the vote, unless the council votes to repeal it.〔''Bakersfield City Charter''. Article III, Section 23.〕 Council members are elected to four year terms. Elections are staggered every two years. As a result, only half of the members are up for reelection during one election cycle.〔''Bakersfield City Charter''. Article III, Section 15.〕
