Government

City commission government

City Hall, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

From April 6, 1908, to December 31, 2005, Cedar Rapids used the city commission form of government. It was one of the few larger cities remaining to operate under this model. Under this form of government, the council was made up of a public safety commissioner, a streets commissioner, a finance commissioner, a parks commissioner, and a mayor. The council members worked on a full-time basis, served two year terms, and were considered department heads. The last mayor of Cedar Rapids under this form of government was Paul Pate. After 2005 the city changed to a mayor-council-manager form of government. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

New form of government

In 2005 the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce spearheaded a movement to change from the commission form of government. A panel was appointed by Mayor Pate and the City Council to study the issue, and recommended that voters be presented with three options:

• Stay with the current commission form of government.
• Adopt a "strong mayor form" where the council would be part time, the mayor would be full time, and a city manager would run the day to day affairs of the city.
• Adopt a "weak mayor form" of government, in this form the mayor and council would both work on a part-time basis. A full-time city manager would run the day-to-day operations of the city.

In 1994, voters were also asked if they would like to change the form of government. At that time, voters decided to keep the commission form.
