Anaheim council may limit mayor's authority

- Mark Petracca, political science associate professor and social sciences associate dean, is quoted in the Los Angeles Times September 27, 2013
From the LA Times:
Mark Petracca, associate professor of political science at UC Irvine, said California
mayors almost always have the authority to set a city council's agenda. "It's one
of the very few explicit powers that they have, normally specified in city code. It
would be highly, highly unusual to take that authority away from a mayor," he said
in an email.
