How about the current city council?
Since you asked I did a quick check on education, which you asked about. I don't believe that education alone results in strong leadership or coorelates to integrity but you asked about education so without further ado:

Of the 9 council members:

4 have a bachelors [[although Cockrel also has completed MSU - Political Leadership Program & Harvard's JFK School of Gov't - Program for State and Local Government Officials)
3 have a masters degree
2 do not have any degrees listed [[although one of the two did rise to the role of deputy chief of police)

Effective and strong leaders? I don't believe so. Educated as an entity? I would certainly say so.
