Districting issue on Naperville ballot

Naperville voters will get to decide whether the city council should be split into five district seats and three at-large seats, including the mayor.

On Wednesday, the city clerk's office filed the paperwork needed for the following question to appear on the November ballot in Will and DuPage counties: "Shall the City of Naperville elect part of the councilmen at-large and part of the councilmen from districts with staggered four-year terms and biennial elections?"

If approved by voters, the change would take effect with the next municipal election in April 2011.
