       Mayor
       By: Mayor Thames Date: November 9, 2014, 7:53 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Mayor is essentially responsible for:
       •Represent the city and its citizens in public
       •Deliver speeches & commendations / other awards to individuals
       and facilities
       •Operate Public Relations & Public Outreach for the city
       •Litigate inter-department affairs
       •Sign contracts & new laws
       •Suggest new legislation & codes
       •Assist in selecting public servants
       •Manage Licensing Office & Inspectors
       The Mayor's work is supported by his deputy, whom he selects as
       his running mate in the election Together they help represent
       the city government where needed. Essentially think the Mayor as
       a CEO, he helps offer direction but it doesn't mean he can do
       whatever he want - he is restricted by his duties and the powers
       of the legislature, the City Council.
       If the Mayor is away, sick, or on other leave ((30 days or
       greater)) the Deputy Mayor will assume all responsibilities, a
       councilor of the mayor's choosing will become Deputy Mayor, and
       a new alternate councilor will be selected (please see
       Legislature for details) - Should the Mayor AND Deputy Mayor
       become incapacitated, the Governor's Office will either manage
       the Mayor's Office until the next election cycle OR approve an
       interim emergency manager for the office.
       The mayor is responsible of ensuring proper funding of the
       government's entities and programs through registration fees,
       licensing fees, and taxes. Should he call for any other
       initiatives and actions outside of his duties placed, he may
       need legislative approval.
       The mayor may also approve contracts. Essentially he can write a
       contract or receive one from the legislature. Once he has it he
       may commission who will receive the contract or any other needs
       within it. He must have all his contracts approved first by the
       legislature before moving forward. Contracts are approved in the
       same process as regular legislation and follow the legislative
       counting process.
       The deputy mayor primarily serves as the liaison to the
       legislature with the mayor as he holds a vote and right to
       discuss topics in the city council. Should he become ill, or
       take a leave of absence ((30 days + )) the city council will
       vote to replace him or her with another councilor of their
       choosing
