East Point voters in November will decide who sits on the city council.
The community is run in a city council-city manager form of government. In short, the council is to make policy and the professional city manager is to implement those decisions.
This Youtube video explains the whole situation. (Start at the 3:10 minute mark and go to about six minutes to understand that form for government. If you are feeling wonky, watch the whole thing. It was created in Michigan, so all the material may not be relevant to Georgia cities.)
