Taylor City Mayor

Description

Mayors are the chief executives of the cities or towns that they are elected from. The scope of duties for a Mayor will vary widely, with most Mayors in large cities taking a more active role in the day-to-day administration of city services, and in smaller areas (where the Mayor is not a full time employee of the city) the Mayors role is not as active. Mayors are often elected independently of the City Council, however, some City Councils may elect one of their members to serve with the title Mayor. As the highest elected member of a municipality the Mayor is normally the chairperson at meetings with publicly elected officials and employees.
