If a ward system was recommended, the Commission was to consider the elements of a ward system, including the number of wards, ward boundaries, etc. In addition, it was to make recommendations on the size of the Council, length of office term of members and the frequency of elections. As well as consider qualifications for candidacy and role and powers of the Mayor and Council.
