If the mayor is the city’s chief executive, then no; if the mayor is merely the council’s head and it is a city manager who is the city’s chief executive, then yes. The working papers exemption includes correspondence for the chief executive’s use. However, a personal letter attached to an otherwise public record does not turn that public record into an exempt one.
