Sheet, up from SD? Thanks for coming up.

I wish that we could confirm the water discharge issues for Councilman Bird. Would the three councilman outweight the mayor and mayor pro tem?

In a council-manager form of government those titles are mostly ceremonial. Each member of the council is counted as one vote, no matter the position.

Sometimes a charter city can give those positions certain "powers" but in general law cities they don't amount to much. For example, I think a Mayor can call a "special" meeting but councilmembers cannot, regardless it will still take a majority vote to push anything on the adjenda.
