The City of Mattoon will be switching its form of city government.
On Tuesday night, people in Mattoon voted YES to switching to a managerial form of municipal government.
The vote was close, with 3900 saying yes and just over 3000 voting no.
Under this new form of city government, the city council still has the power to approve policies like budgets and tax rates, and the council will appoint a city manager to oversee daily operations.
"Vote Yes For Mattoon" Campaign Chair Kirk Swensen said it's now up to the Mattoon city council to decide how and when to start the transition.
