Colorado's third biggest city is flirting with the idea of following in Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs' footsteps with a 'strong mayor' system.
Colorado Springs voted for a strong mayor government in 2010, and Steve Bach was the first mayor to govern under that system in 2011. “There are several cities across the country, including Denver that have a strong mayor form of government." Webb says. “That system seems to work well because you have the ability to run the government with a unity of command where everything comes up to you.”
Aurora"would see a lot of favoritism in terms of campaigning support," Marcano explains. Endorsements could come in exchange for promised positions, he says, and"more fundamentally it makes the mayor's office in Aurora the position that will likely go to the highest bidder." The alternative to a strong mayor is known as a"city manager" or"weak mayor" government, which puts all the executive duties — like budgeting, hiring and firing departments heads, and supervising daily operations — on the shoulders of a city manager. That's the system in place for Aurora and most Colorado cities and towns.the city council in that system
"I feel that a mayor/council form of government is more appropriate for Aurora given its size" former Aurora City Manager Bob Broom said in a statement. "I was the city manager for Aurora from 1978 to 1983 when it was a much smaller city."
