Here are a few distinctions, policy and otherwise, between Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison and Coun. Charlie Clark, who declared Wednesday he intends to run for mayor in October:

Policing

Atchison has always said community safety is a priority. He served as chair of the board of police commissioners from the time he was first elected mayor until January. He has voiced support for the controversial practice of random street checks or carding.

Clark also serves on the police board, which voted to replace Atchison as chair with resident Darlene Brander in January. Clark has pushed for a closer look at police funding.

Downtown arena

Atchison thinks a new downtown arena needs to be considered as SaskTel Centre ages.

Clark is skeptical of the public’s appetite for another mega-project.

Campaign financing

Atchison helped defeat a proposal to ban union and corporate donations, and donations from outside Saskatchewan.
