§ 3-5. Election of mayor; term of office.


Latest version.
  • The qualified voters of the entire city elect the mayor. The term of office for the mayor is four (4) years. The mayor has the same voting rights and privileges and is subject to the same voting limitations and requirements as are council members under the general law. In determining a quorum, a majority vote of the council, or in being excused from voting, the mayor is treated as a member of the council. The mayor, after participating with council members in a vote that results in a tie, may not vote a second time to break that tie.
