Government The city is governed by a five-member Board of Aldermen, who serve staggered four-year terms. The mayor is elected to four-year terms. An unusual ordinance once required all citizens to own a rake. This ordinance was enacted shortly after the neighboring city of Kennesaw, Georgia ordered every homeowner to own a gun in 1982. The requirement to own a rake is no longer in effect.
