SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A former member of the McCall City Council has requested that the Council consider the provision in
McCall City code § 1.7.2 that states “No person elected to membership on the council shall, subsequent to
such election, be eligible for appointment as city manager until one year has elapsed after that person has
ceased to be a member of the council.” The Mayor has requested that staff research this provision so that
the Council may determine whether the provision meets the needs of the City of McCall.
Staff has done extensive research into how this provision came to be in the McCall City Code. This section
was established in 1994 when the Council-Manager form of government was established. In researching
other cities with this form of government many of them have the same or similar provision. In speaking
with Michele Frisby, Director of Public Information Outreach Team at the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA), staff learned that this provision was likely in place to prevent a conflict
of interest.
Of note the Council-Manager form of government is the most common form of government. According to
surveys by the ICMA, this form of government has grown from 48% usage in 1996 to 55% usage in 2006.
