What are the mayors responsibilities?
• As administrative head of City government, the mayor works with the City Council in matters relating to legislation, including the City’s annual budget. The mayor does not vote on issues before Council. Instead, the mayor signs or vetoes City Council legislation. Only emergency ordinances or enactments relating to emergency appropriations or borrowing cannot be vetoed. The City Council may pass an ordinance over the mayors veto by an override vote of five of its members.
