ONLINE: Restructuring Madison City Government
press release: These are among the questions that will be on the April 6 spring election ballot for your consideration.
- Should the City of Madison governmental structure be redesigned?
- Should we have a full time city council with smaller aldermanic districts? With increased pay for alders?

Eileen Harrington chaired the city’s Task Force on the Structure of City Government. She will present the findings or the two-year long study. Ms. Harrington, a Madison native, spent thirty-three years in Washington, D.C. where she was the Executive Director of the Federal Trade Commission, the Chief Operating Officer of the U.S. Small Business Administration, and oversaw the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Protection mission.
The Task Force on the Structure of City Government, a City of Madison ad hoc committee was created by the Common Council and former Mayor Paul Soglin. The committee met for two years to study the city's government structures and processes. Its report, which makes forty-four separate recommendations for modifications to the structure of Madison's city government, can be found here: https://madison.legistar.com/
