Normally, the Mayor is elected by residents of your city or town.
In most cities, the Mayor appoints city officials, (like the Chief of Police), presides over City Council meetings, oversees city departments, and signs legal documents.
You might find the Mayor making a speech, taking part in a holiday parade, breaking ground for a new park, or cutting a ribbon to open a new community center.
