Mayor
The Mayor is the head of our municipal government. The Mayor sees that state laws and borough ordinances are faithfully executed and presides over Council. The Mayor only votes in the event of a tie, and has the authority to veto legislation, which is then subject to override by ⅔ majority of Council. The Mayor appoints Officers of the Government with Council approval.
