The City Charter was amended at the election of November 25, 1883, dividing the City into three wards and providing that the Common Council be increased to nine members, elected for two-year terms. At the election, Northrup and Keenen were added to the Council until the next election in 1884. At the 1884 election, one member was elected from each of the City's three wards for one year, and two others from each ward were elected for two-year terms. Thereafter, all members were elected to two-year terms.
