Since
1966, Memphis has been governed by the "weak
mayor" form of mayor-council government. The
new city charter provided for the election of a
mayor and thirteen council members, six elected
at large from throughout the city and seven elected
from geographic districts. In 1995, the council
adopted a new district plan which changed council
positions to all districts. This plan provides for
nine districts, seven with one representative each
and two districts with three representatives each.
The current mayor of Memphis is Dr. W. W. Herenton.
Dr. Herenton is currently serving his fourth consecutive
term as Mayor. He was elected for the first time
in 1991, when he became Memphis's first black mayor.
Prior to his election, Dr. Herenton served for 12
years as the superintendent of Memphis City Schools.
