MAYOR
1. Mayor is the head of a municipal government and is usually the chairman of the municipal council and of the council and of the council executive committee. He may fulfil the roles of chief executive officer, ceremonial figurehead, and local agent of the central government. In a more recent system of municipal management – the council-manager system – the mayor’s role is mach reduced; he serves essentially only as head of the council. Whatever the form of local government, the mayor’s role may be said to rest largely on his relationship to the council and to the central government.
2. Mayors are either appointed or elected. In Europe, until the middle of the 19 century, most mayors were appointed by the central government. With the rise of representative government, more countries adopted the practice of electing the mayor. This practice takes a variety of forms. In most European countries the mayor is elected by the local council from its members; usually he is the leader of the majority party. In Switzerland, Canada and the Philippines most mayors are popularly elected.
3. In countries where the mayor is an agent of the central government, as in France, the mayor is usually the actual as well as the nominal head of the local government. In other words, his position is generally determined by the central government, and he has much greater executive powers than the council. As an agent of the central government, the mayor is the mainspring of the municipal administration and the focal point of policy.
4. With the development of popularly elected municipal councils, most mayors have taken on a dual role, serving not only as chief executive officer of the municipal administration but also as agents of the central government charged with such functions as maintaining public order, security, and health. In the United States the central government never did control the cities directly and mayors were either elected by the populace at large or chosen by a city council whose members were also so elected. (1690)
