**In 1991, voters amended the State Constitution providing for local elections to be held on even numbered years. As a means of realigning the election years, Commissioners whose term of office began January 1994, served a one-time term of three years, or until December 1996. The Mayor, Eldon Renaud, whose term of office began in January 1996, served a one-time term of 5 years or until December 2000. All subsequent terms of office reverted back to the usual two years for Commissioner and four years for Mayor.
