The City Legislature is the municipality's governing body, responsible for voting on ordinances and policies, and often is in charge of hiring a city manager.
The Mayor must be at least 30 years of age, a resident of the city for two years preceding the election, and a United States citizen. No person shall be elected or appointed to any office who shall at the time be in arrears for any unpaid city taxes or forfeiture or defalcation in office.
