A weaker mayor will require approval from the Council for most decisions. The new council will be elected through ranked choice, and could end up being non homogeneously Democrat as it is today.
This will cause deadlock and paralysis in many cases, a marked improvement over their current government.

Weak mayor cities usually have city managers who are effectively mayors except that they report to the city council.
That would be true for the ones that are run like corporations like where I live. I'm not sure that's true for bigger cities, is it?
