Impact analysis
A smaller council may save some staff and operating costs, but redistricting and transition expenses could eat into those savings.
Supporters of smaller government and candidates who can win in the new, larger districts stand to benefit.
Current council members and neighborhoods that lose dedicated representation, especially areas with distinct local concerns, could be hurt.
