Voters in Everett have cast ballots to approve a proposal to eliminate the city’s unique bicameral city council.
The city has a 25-member council made up of a seven-member board of aldermen and an 18-member common council.
Paul Schlosberg, chairman of the city’s charter commission, says residents on Tuesday voted to replace the two-tiered system with a single-branch 11-member city council.
Supporters of the change said the existing form of government is too cumbersome and the new streamlined council would be more accountable.
