Syracuse City - Elections

2007 SYRACUSE CITY MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS

The Syracuse City Primary Election was held September 11, 2007 and of the 9,548 registered voters in Syracuse, 1,570 of you turned out to vote. This is average for a Primary Election, but hopefully we can generate a greater turnout for the General Election.

Congratulations to the six candidates that earned enough votes to advance to the
General Election. Those candidates whose names will appear on the General
Election ballot are as follows: Alan L. Clark
Doug Hammond
Byron Hellewell
Douglas Peterson
Dean Steel
Larry ShingletonThere will also be two referendum issues on the ballot. The ballot language for those
two issues is as follows:

Citizens City Referendum No. 1:  Shall Ordinance 06-20 
of Syracuse City be approved?  The Ordinance was passed in October 2006.  
Ordinance 06-20 provides language specifying City's form of government.  
It removes the Mayor's title of Chief Executive Officer.  It changes 
the title of the office of City Administrator to City Manager who reports 
to the Governing Body as a whole rather than the Mayor only and designates 
the Manager as the Chief Executive Officer of the City.  The Ordinance 
provides that the City Manager shall review and recommend contracts to 
the City Council and shall sign the contracts on behalf of the City.

Citizens City Referendum No. 2:  Shall Ordinance
06-26 of Syracuse City be approved?  The Ordinance was passed in 
February 2007.  Ordinance 06-26 amends the City's beer licensing 
regulations by creating a license classification to allow beer consumption
on licensed premises.  The Ordinance requires licensed restaurants 
be located minimum distances from: public buildings, parks, playgrounds, 
libraries, schools, and churches.  The Ordinance also provides regulations 
for the issuance of such licenses regarding hours of service, permitted 
activities, and applicant qualifications.
