Mayor and Board of Alderpersons:

 The Mayor and Board of Alderpersons are elected to two-year terms and are responsible for the care, management and control of the City and its finances.  They are empowered to enact the ordinances they deem necessary for the good governance of the City, the preservation of peace and order, and the health of its residents in concert with the State’s constitution and laws.  The Board consists of four Alderpersons—two from each of the City’s two Wards.  It meets regularly on the second Monday of the month.  One Alderperson attends the Planning and Zoning Commission / Architectural Review Board (P&Z / ARB) meetings as a non-voting representative of the Board.
