Elected Mayor
Summary
The commission previously leaned toward a directly elected, full-time mayor, but Deanna Campbell argued a commission-appointed mayor better fits Bozeman's commission-manager government. The final call now waits on the ward decision and returns first on May 20.

Impact analysis
A full-time elected mayor would mean a significant salary commitment; a part-time appointed mayor would not.
Voters would get a mayor they chose directly; critics say a separate mayor mandate could clash with the commission.
