Woodstock government - change to ward system?

Should the City of Woodstock change its city government to a ward system and allow residents to elect their own representatives to the City Council?

Woodstock government has a mayor plus six residents on its City Council. If you are not happy with someone, it's hard to get rid of him or her.

What if Woodstock switched over to a ward system? If residents in a certain part of town feel they aren't getting the police assistance they need, then they have one Council member to turn to. Or maybe their potholes aren't being filled. Or they need more Code enforcement.

Residents could lean on their elected representative on the Council. If they don't get heard, they could elect someone else at the next election.

What do you think? Do you think you would be better off with a ward system?

How would residents get the question to the public? My guess is that the mayor and current members of the City Council would never go for a ward system. Would the question have to be put to the voters in a referendum?
