[edit] Mayor

Does Sandusky, Ohio have a mayor and if so, what is the mayor's name. -- Ohioan 01:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedians that live within the Sandusky, Ohio area in Erie County, Ohio can help. -- Ohioan 01:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Sandusky has a commission form of government. The top administrator is that of City Manager, the current City Manager's name is Michael J. Will. (from the City of Sandusky web page) Zars 17:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

That's a little unusual, I never knew that a city like Sandusky, Ohio can operate without a mayor. Most cities in the United States have mayors under their form of government. Thanks for the information. -- Ohioan 02:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I was not correct in my statement of 26 Feb and I edited it. Mr. Daniel J. Kaman is the President of the Sandusky City Commission; and as such is the "ex-officio" mayor of Sandusky. He would be the lead elected official. An article in the local paper reported that he presided at a ceremony honoring a retiring coach as "Mayor." Michael J. Will is the City Manager and the lead administrator, but his is not an elected position. Zars 04:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Perkins Township

What are you people doing, no edit fighting please, Perkins Township is like a part of Sandusky because the Sandusky Mall, restaurants, retail and business are all on this side of town (Sandusky). I think Perkins Township should be included in this main article since it is a part of the city of Sandusky, Ohio. Was this a edit war or what.---OHWiki 14:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Relax man, it's no big deal. Nyttend removed the section on Perkins, I restored it with the explanation that it's a different situation from the other townships in Erie County, and then he removed the part that's irrelevant to this article (i.e., Perkins schools, etc.).

After all, it's not a part of Sandusky, or it wouldn't be Perkins Township. If others that are more knowledgeable about it believe that it's relevant, I'm happy to go along with that :-) Nyttend 18:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
