	City status in the UK - UK Cities
		Had they not been granted city status in the distant past, it is very unlikely that they would receive city status today especially in view of their very small size.
		It is at best archaic and at worst totally ridiculous to some people that city status is decided by one person who was not democratically elected, rather than decided by democratic means such as voting or decided automatically on the basis of the size of the population, local economy or other such criteria.
		However if the queen removed its city status the government and local councils would be forced to enforce the decision although at the risk of attracting overwhelming criticism and possibly even bringing to the forefront of public consciousness the very question of what place an extravagant monarchy has in a society evolving towards democracy.

	Department for Constitutional Affairs - Constitutional Policy - City Status
		City status is a rare mark of distinction granted by the Sovereign and conferred by Letters Patent.
		It is for Her Majesty The Queen to decide when a competition for city status should be held.
		The last such occasion was in December 2000 when it was announced that The Queen had agreed to the Prime Minister's recommendation that Her Golden Jubilee should be marked, exceptionally, by grants of city status to a suitably qualified town in each of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

	Scotland Guide - General information - City status
		It is unclear whether initally city status was conferred by the monarch or whether it was simply a term to describe the seat of a bishop.
		Thus city status which formerly served to differentiate a village from a place with a cathedral now became the most sought after honour which could be bestowed on a town.
		It is also expecially odd as Dunfermline discovered that in Medieval times it was called a city and on 16th September 2000 pulled out of the competition to award millenium city status on the basis that it already was one, a fact recognised by the executive.

		The borough council boundaries of many cities embrace other towns with distinct identities, and some, for example the Canterbury and Wakefield, cover large rural areas.
		The largest "city" borough in terms of area is the City of Carlisle, which covers some 1040km² (400 square miles) of mostly rural landscape in Cumbria in the north of England, and is larger than some of the smaller counties such as Merseyside or Rutland.

	ADB seeks city dist status for Rawalpindi -DAWN - National; 26 February, 2004
		If awarded the city district status, the existing Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) would be abolished and a number of municipal administrations would be established at the town level after dividing the city into various blocks, keeping in view the population and geographical location of each block.
		The conditions for the city district status, as described by the officials, included minimum 1 million population, urban nature of the Tehsil and employment of about 60 per cent population in non-agriculture sector.
		After becoming the city district, the roles of Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) and Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa) would be further invigorated, as both the civic agencies would be free from the intervention of the TMA in their jurisdictions and duties.

		The mayor reminded the members of the city council that the city purchased 28 dumpsters last year to improve the service within the community, and said he doesn’t anticipate such expenditures during the 2005-06 fiscal year.
		Before ending discussion of the city’s budget and financial status, the mayor noted that many, or perhaps most, of the variations in the utilities’ revenue and expenditures were related directly to the loss of Jockey International from the community.
		The city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance for consideration at the next council meeting related to the city’s sick leave policy for employees.

		It is linked to the city's comprehensive plan, it provides an orderly process for planning and budgeting capital needs, and it allows prioritization of current and future needs to fit within the anticipated level of financial resources.
		City council is committed to a public education campaign to inform Marco Island citizens about this important issue.

	Transferring to city status not a viable option for Okotoks
		His assessment of moving to city status was that the move would have a substantial negative financial impact on the community as well as an impact on the community's acceptable small-town image.
		He added that while moving to city status may attract more investors and businesses to the community, retaining town status would not hinder the economic development favored by Okotoks.
		While transferring to city status does not appear to have many benefits for Okotoks, Cox said an alternative would be for the town to gain control of the provincial highways within its limits.

	Issue One: The City's Distressed Status (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I found the wording of the Dec. 30 front-page headline to be quite disturbing: "City Finally Wins 'Distressed' Status." It is quite sad to see the PG take the stance of Pittsburgh being designated "distressed" by the state as a "win." It was also quite sad to see the city's leadership pleading for that designation.
		Regarding the city's financial woes, and the possible levying of a commuter tax, my husband and I are retired and don't go into the city very often any more, but we are Pittsburghers and identify ourselves by the city when we are away.
		I would gladly pay a yearly tax of $60 or so to help the city out of its bind, to help it achieve a better reputation and to fix some of its problems.

		County commissioners last week approved the appointment of a committee to write a charter for Miami Lakes, which is part of the incorporation process.

		Most recently, as part of Her Majesty’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, cities throughout the UK were encouraged to enter a national competition to be granted Jubilee City Status.
		Most importantly, however, those cities short-listed were to have a forward thinking attitude to both their continued expansion and their sense of community.

	Parasol Records : Labels : Hidden Agenda : Elk City : Status (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The year 2000 will find ELK CITY on the road (touring the East Coast in the summer, West Coast in the fall), and on the radio with their first single, "Dreams of Steam." Ride the Folkwave.
		Composing and arrangements are never less than catchy and intriguing, but the real bite comes from the unpredictable back and forth between Lobue and Langland-Hassan that refreshingly never generates into gender bickering: both singers seem thoughtful and imaginative even if their duologues really don't connect in any real sense.
		The cornerstone of 'Status' is the eight-plus-minute "Fall Out of Reach", a song that drifts along on a somber, contemplative bed of acoustic guitar and thumping beats, with Langland-Hassan wondering aloud about his passing years, while Lobue offers optimistic counsel ("It's all about being alive/Now YOU try…").

	Elk City: Status - PopMatters Music Review
		To their credit, Elk City are less affected than most TMC recordings, less precious, less pristine and less interested in burnishing songs into impossibly smooth surfaces with no depth.
		Instead, Elk City's artful precision lies in the ability to neatly space the instruments and vocals, leaving just enough room for experimental embellishment and neatly appointed ambient flourishes, eschewing TMC's detached chilly cool and bathing the album in a radiant sophistication that's warm to the touch.
		Status is an open sounding record, at moments given over to a folk/hippie pop sensibility, at others inclined to rock out.

	Elk City: Status Aversion.com Review
		Bringing together 12 tracks with nearly as many different atmospheres, the band finds itself offering a collection, that while at times a bit rocky with indecision, banks on the band’s grasp of depth and textures.
		Best when kicking back in the studio, playing with electronic toys and recording techniques, Elk City wraps up enough odds and ends to keep listeners picking at its sound for a long time.
		Starting off with "Dreams of Steam," a clumsy amalgamation of Combustible Edison and Yo La Tengo, Status finds its first track an uphill climb, and the scat vocal harmonies in "Tell the People" are saccarine enough to require a warning label from the FDA.
