election and elect a mayor who takes office immediately. The mayor of a second class city serves a one-year term,
unless a longer term is provided by ordinance. The mayor of a second class city may serve only while a member of the
council regardless of the term established for the office of mayor.
- (c) Except by ordinance ratified by the voters, no limit may be placed on the total number of terms or number of
consecutive terms a mayor may serve.
- (d) Notwithstanding (b) of this section, a second class city may by ordinance provide that the mayor is elected, from the
council, by the voters rather than by the council. If an ordinance is adopted under this subsection, the council shall

until the first Monday after certification of the next regular election. The term of a mayor in office on the effective
