So it appears that Davis CA has a 5 member (districtless) city council, and all city departments answer to them.
Here's the plan UC Davis students: Register, then vote every one of those current members out. Create a citizen police review board with investigative and legal teeth. Then hire a police chief who wouldn't give orders to pepper spray sitting students.
It's great that they don't have districts- in many college towns they slice off students from having political power. I'm glad elections are coming up in 2012!
