At each regular biennial Town election, a Mayor shall be separately
elected by the electors and shall serve until the successor shall
be elected and qualified. The Mayor shall take office on the Monday,
or Tuesday in the event of a holiday, following the biennial Town
election. The candidate receiving a plurality of the votes cast for
this office shall be the Mayor. However, the candidate next in the
order of votes received for Mayor shall have the votes they received
for Mayor included in the compilation and the determination of the
Council membership.
The Mayor shall be a member and the presiding officer of the
Council, and shall call it to order and shall have one vote, but only
one vote, on each matter voted upon by the Council. The Mayor shall
be recognized as the official head of the Town for ceremonial purposes
and for military purposes. The Mayor shall keep informed on Town matters
and may make reports and recommendations to the Council and electors
of the Town on matters of legislative concern and general Town policy.
The Mayor may attend any meeting of any board, commission or other
governmental body of the Town and shall receive such advance notification
of any such meeting as is given to the members of said bodies. The
Mayor shall have the full right of participation in discussions but
shall not have the right to vote.
A.
Subcommittees of the Council. The Mayor, as directed by the Council,
shall appoint such special subcommittees of the Council as are required
but shall in no way have the power to make appointments which are
the responsibility of the Council or the Town Manager.
B.
Other appointed officers. The Mayor shall request recommendations,
from the respective political parties, which shall be submitted to
the Council for all appointed offices for which the Council has the
power of appointment, but this shall not preclude any other member
of the Council from making nominations for the same positions.
