Talk:Detroit City Council

Untitled

Detroit has transitioned to a geographic (district) council. This article needs to be updated. CAUTION; City of Detroit web pages have maps of districts in some places, http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/DepartmentsandAgencies/CityClerk.aspx, and still discuss all at-large council on other pages, http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/CityCouncil/AboutCityCouncil/tabid/2633/Default.aspx . District elections are happening in 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.138.149 (talk) 00:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

request edit

To whom it may concern, I just wanted the spelling of Raquel Castaneda-Lopez's last name to be corrected, please. It is not (as in the article), Raquel Castandea-Lopez. The "e" and "d" of Castaneda just need to be switched. Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Angela Castañeda-López

P.S. Her name is listed under Current Members, dist. 6

Nevermind, I fixed it.

City Council Electoral Districts

I've inserted information relative to the 2012 City Charter changes and electoral districts. This includes preparing the Former Members chart to be sequenced by district. There had to be a jog in the column for Brenda Jones (2006-2013) over to the 2nd column, there is a note in the prior column referencing. I've included salary changes from 2015. —Stephen "Fuzzytek" Boyle (talk) 12:42, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Is there a way to represent a gap between Ayers and Jenkins? It wasn't a whole year, but it was half-a-year of that seat being empty, and the chart currently shows Ayers appointment covering all of 2014 when she was even elected until well into 2015. I'm not versed enough on the template to now how this is represented on other pages. Really, it's not that big a deal, I guess, as long as we put when appoints happened after vacancies, but that one seems to be pretty glaring as there was no time in which Ayers served during 2014. --Criticalthinker (talk) 13:55, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Table

Shouldn't the table indicate which person filled which position? Does that data still exist? DS (talk) 13:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm confused. The article pretty clearly says there wer no districts prior to 2013 (well, back before the 1920's or so), so everything is listed correctly. Councillers after 2013 are given their district numbers. --Criticalthinker (talk) 21:56, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
