Advice and Recommendations for the Mayor of San Diego

The Mayor’s decision to accept these gifts was ethical because anyone who is receiving gifts would automatically accept and wouldn’t even think twice about accepting them. But I believe it is wrong for the Mayor to accept gifts from organizations that have not business with them because it might cause controversial between them if they don’t

One thing of significance that I learned about at the city council meeting was meeting procedure. When I first arrived a pre-meeting workshop about annexation was occurring. After the regular meeting began we started with the Pledge of Allegiance. Next roll call of the council members was taken. Dallas Center has five council members: Mike Kidd, David Bagby, Kurt Pion,. Following roll call was an action to approve the agenda, which was approved. Next up was public communications and concerns. I was surprised that each person only has two minutes to talk about all the issues they

On Monday, April 13th, 2009, I visited the Culver City city council meeting, and found that they operate using a council-manager form of government. For a city with a population of about 38,000, this type of governmental structure is fairly common, and I was not surprised to see it in action in a community where the median household income is around $56,000 a year. Culver City is also a culturally rich community with a 60 percent Caucasian population, and a quarter of the residents are either of African American or Asian decent. The mayor, D. Scott Malsin, is one of five members on the council, and his term as mayor is on a rotating basis. Having been to a Hermosa Beach city council meeting with a similar council-manager structure, I knew

The governing core of South San Francisco is the city council, which creates municipal laws and the overall policy, decides how to expend treasury, assigns members to all consultative local businesses and represents the city officially. The city council`s members are Richard A. Garbarino as a mayor, Mark N. Addiego as a vice mayor, Pradeep Gupta, Karyl Matsumoto and Liza Normandy.

There are somewhat restrictions on the kinds of advice be given? On that note, should the mayor on the political consequences be personal if he assumes leadership of the income tax campaign? Additionally, it may be the time they were starting to arrive a decision to raise probably taxes or cut services more drastically.

The purpose of this paper is to comprehensively compare and contrast the implementation of two types of mayor-council government systems which are that of the weak-mayor type of the mayor council system and the strong-mayor type of the mayor council system. The premise of the analysis which has been conducted in this paper is based upon assessing the local governments of two cities within the United States – Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Minneapolis, Minnesota which follow the adoption of a strong-mayor system and weak-mayor system respectively.

Hello, I am Jeremy Wilczek, the new mayor of Little Egg Harbor New Jersey. I love our little town, and I believe it is almost perfect. There is something I would do to make our town better. To start, I think we should find out who the mayor is and how he affects our town. Usually a mayor will oversee police, firemen, education, housing, and transportation departments. There are four options for a city's government structure, and some cities use several. One power structure is the council-weak mayor. This type of structure gives the majority of the city power to the council, with the mayor acting as a leader of the council. The mayor is also responsible for signing proclamations and making ceremonial appearances.

There are numerous techniques the mayor can use to create effective teamwork among city employees one of which is an atmosphere of accountability and trust as a common goal. The American Management Association (2014) stated, “When people work together in a climate of trust and responsibility toward a common goal, they put aside turf issues and politics and focus on the tasks to be done. This

The mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, has been through a lot in the past couple of months as a result he realizes that being the mayor of Toronto is not easy. Therefore, the question is then reconsidered of whether Rob Ford should still be mayor of Toronto? This essay will compare a speech given by Rob Ford on June 30, 2014 at City Hall in Toronto. This speech is for the citizens of Toronto and anyone who he had offended, he then apologized for his actions and also to compare an editorial by The Star, written on Thursday May 01, 2014. This editorial is trying to target citizens of Toronto and trying to make them see that Rob Ford isn’t fit to be mayor and that he should just resign. The speech and editorial are both trying to reach the audience in an effective way. This will be shown by comparing the tone, appeal and rhetorical devices.

Bill de Blasio is the current Mayor and Mayor incumbent of New York City running under the Democratic Party with alliance to third party Working Families Party gaining de Blasio cross endorsement of both parties. Responsibilities of the Mayor in NYC are wider than other cities. Major cities use a strong mayor form of mayor-council government, which makes the appropriate ‘check’ or restriction that City Councils often have on their Mayor very weak as opposed to a weak mayor form which restricts the mayor’s autonomy and power delegating more to the city council. This allows the Mayor almost complete administrative autonomy such as proposing legislation and executive orders and other managerial tasks to ensure an effective city government

Something I would also do as Mayor is make the sidewalks better and smoother because sometimes people have a disability and it would be rough for them to go on a bumpy and rough sidewalks. The other thing I would do as Mayor I would fix the streets and make the streets have a straight surface.The money we would use for that plan is the tax money the city collects from the citizens of Osceola and donations.

This city is a great city with diverse people from all around. We need a president that will improve our city. Based on the census data, those who have graduated high school or achieved higher from ages twenty-five and above is 65% of our people. Comparing this to the national percentage, 86% it is a little bit more than half of our city but national wise it is the majority of the millions of people that live in this country. For those people who have gotten at least a bachelor’s degree from twenty-five or higher is 16%. The national percentage is 29%. This says that less than ¼ of the population of Chelsea have gotten that much education. The nation have a little bit more than ¼ of the millions that live here. In Chelsea, the median household

“Of course, after all the position of a mayor is an extremely important jobs and a big responsibility, I get that you want to take your

Throughout my senior project, I wanted to gain a better understanding of how our government works. I have taken American Government, but I wanted to get an even better understanding of our government through first-hand experience. That is why I decided to be a part of the City of Payette’s advising comprehensive plan committee. Throughout this committee, I, along with about 10 other people, discussed certain topics that will help further make Payette a better place to live in. Some of the topics of discussion included that of property rights, land use planning, transportation, economic development, and more. The purpose of being a part of the committee was to help me get a better understanding of how a local government works. I also wanted to find out the careers that are related with any facet of government.

My third plan of readjustment, if I were mayor, is to clean up public parks/areas. Who wants to go to park and see trash on the ground? If I went to a park like that I would be disgusted. You want to go to a nice modern park filled with fun activities for children. This would make our community look trashy. Overall, I want a nice, clean, modern city to attract people to, and cleaning up public parks/areas would help me achieve that goal.
