The Mayor also serves a ceremonial role at Community events and other functions representing the City. In all other aspects, the Mayor’s role is the same as that of the other four Councilmembers, representing their constituents, debating and voting on policy questions before the Council, adopting the budget for the City, and supervising the City Manager and City Attorney who are both directly appointed by the City Council.
