City Council Districts (2013 - ) The biggest change to Council-Manager government came on November 6, 2012 when Austin voters approved a charter amendment that put an end to the at election of City Council members. 10 council districts were created, from which one representative would be elected as a Council member. The Mayor would continue to be elected at large, by the entire city and the government style would otherwise remain the same as a Council-Manager form. This particular change came to be known as 10-One. Bibliography: Texas, Hans Peter Mareus Neilsen Gammel, Cadwell Walton Raines, and Cadwell Walton Raines. 2004. The laws of Texas, 1822-1897.
