The rotation system was one in which a commissioner would automatically become mayor in his third or fourth year on the board. As many votes he had received in the commission election,
Commissions before 1980 used the system, but it has not been used since then.
UNDER THE SYSTEM, the person with the most votes in the commission election — held April of odd-numbered years — would automatically be mayor in the third year of his term.
The system also said that the person with the second highest number of votes would automatically be mayor in his fourth year on the commission.
The commissioner with the third highest number of votes in the rotation system would not be mayor in his 2-year term.
Shontz also said that the problem with the new system of selecting the mayor was that any commissioner could become mayor.
"When that happens, you immediately begin power politics," she said. "You begin to try to influence those around you."
Last year, according to the rotation system, Shontz would have been mayor. This is her last year on the commission, and next year she, and Howard Amyx and Howard Hill will be up for re-election.
Hill — who nominated Angino for mayor — said Sunday that he thought Angino would be a good choice because he would not be up for re-election next April.
The commission also unanimously nominated
Shontz suggested a study session on the role of the mayor because she said she was concerned that the commissioners had never had “heart-to-heart” talks about the mayor's responsibilities.
Amyx, who replaces Shontz, as vice mayor last night.
Longhurst and Angino said they thought the study session was a good idea.
In other action the commission:

- unanimously voted to authorize the mayor to sign a resolution requesting the improvement and widening 31st Street between Iowa Street and Kasold Drive. The resolution designates the Kansas Secretary of Transportation to act on the city's behalf in obtaining federal funds for the project, said George Williams, director of public works.
England, has called on members of the alliance to provide additional ships and planes to maintain a watch on the Soviet sea-control forces in the North Atlantic. The fleet's air arm, naval sensors in Washington said.

The three Soviet task forces moved out of the Baltic and Barrents seas and from bases in the Kola Peninsula to rendezvous in the Norwegian Sea for maneuvers which, the sources said, should also provide a "very good exercise for NATO's surveillance activities."
Defense sources indicated the extent of the maneuvers might be vastly greater than what had been sighted. "NATO will only disclose those that are known, and know they have eyeballed," the sources said.
NATO officials also reported increased Soviet naval activity in the Mediterranean and Indian
THE SOVIET HELICOPTER cruiser Leningrad has sailed from Cuba. NATO officers predicted that the Soviet Pacific fleet also might turn to turning the exercise into a global maneuver.
Soviet warships have been "pouring out" from their Arctic and Baltic bases in the past 36 hours, a British Defense Ministry spokesman said.
"It was a very swift build-up," he said.
"Such a high level of activity outside the normal fleet operation has led NATO staff to conclude that the Soviet navy and its air arm have commenced a major fleet exercise, probably the largest seen in Atlantic waters," the spokesman said.
NATO was concerned that Russia could launch such a big exercise so suddenly and apparently undetected until the vessels sailed last Wednesday. British defense correspondents said.
