A mayor is traditionally perceived as the official leader of a city, town or village. He/She is commonly expected to develop and support policies that have the best interests of the citizens in mind and graciously entertain suggestions from the populace on how to improve the local living conditions. A panel of citizens, often called a board of commissioners or city council, typically work in unison with the mayor to accomplish mutual goals intended to benefit the community at large.
Depending on the structure of the government of the region in which the mayor serves, his/her responsibilities and power may be expansive or limited. There are also many variances regarding how a mayor gets the job, as he/she may be elected or appointed. The mayor may be in charge of the council with whom he/she works or on an equal level with them when it comes to casting votes or setting policy.
Many duties of a mayor are customarily part of the job regardless of how his/her powers are divided, assigned or limited. These normally include responsibilities that concern the general maintenance of local services and utilities required by the citizenry. They may also involve issues of local commerce and business development.
