At-Large Councilmembers

I haven’t read all the new material yet (if there is much?) but all I gather so far is that we will have district-based representation, which is good. But in several places I’ve lived that successfully used this, they’ve also had (at least) a single at-large member. I hope that’s being considered.
All I see so far is about drawing maps, which is important. But it’s only one prerequisite for district-based representation, and I hope we don’t spend all our time map-drawing without attention to the process of actually moving to a new election system.
I’m saying I’d like to see this happen; let’s don’t duck around for the next several years and get nowhere, please.
