Memphis City Council
The Memphis City Council is a legislative body of Memphis, Tennessee. The city is governed by Mayor A C Wharton and thirteen city council members.
Memphis City Council consists of thirteen members, seven of whom are elected from districts with one representative each, and six of whom are elected from "super districts" with three representatives each.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.memphistn.gov/framework.aspx?page=689 )〕 The Metro City Council committees meet on every first and third Tuesday of every month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.memphistn.gov/framework.aspx?page=693 )〕
The first city council took office in 1968, after the modern city charter had been approved by Memphis voters in a 1966 referendum. The 1966 charter set the salary for council members at $6,000, which was later raised to $20,100 in 1995, and later raised again to the current amount of $30,100. The 1966 charter provided for run-off elections when no candidate got a majority of the vote, but a federal judge overruled that section of the charter in 1991.
In 1995, the council adopted a new district plan which changed council positions to all districts. This plan provides for nine districts, seven with one representative each and two districts with three representatives each. In 2010, the council approved a new redistricting plan to reflect recent demographic shifts.〔(Memphis City Council approves outline for redistricting )〕
