The mayor is responsible for the overall operation of city government, much like a business owner or manager is responsible for the overall operation of a business.
The duties of the Clerk-Treasurer are to prepare the agenda and all necessary documents for Common Council meetings, maintain all records required by law, and more.
The Common Council is both the city’s legislative and fiscal body. Members of the Common Council (often referred to as the City Council) are part-time elected officials who serve for four years.
