Powers and Functions of Mayor

The Mayor is at the centre of the system of governance. The Mayor does not make decisions in a vacuum. Instead, he or she takes collective decision in consultation with Councillors, the Chief Executive Officer, departmental heads, citizens, staff, and other stakeholders in the government and businesses sectors in order to receive input about changes in the operational environment of the City or potential changes to legislation. In addition, the Mayor should spread goodwill and attend public appearance events for business openings, school functions, speeches, community functions. The Mayor remains the first citizen and represents the City at ceremonial functions.
