NOTE: Strong Mayor is a mayor in a mayor-council method of municipal government who is given by charter a large degree of

control and responsibility. To be considered a strong mayor system, the mayor receives administrative authority and a significant

degree of independence. He or she can appoint and dismiss staff at city hall, including department heads without consulting the

city council or receiving public approval.
