No distinction shall be made in title or duties among the Commissioners, except as the City Commission shall organize itself for business. The position of Mayor is ceremonial and provides for an official head at formal occasions. The City Commission convenes on the first and third Mondays of every month. The service of at least one commission member is required on several boards. Additional time is spent on budget workshops, and state and national League of Cities meetings.
Commissioners are also in constant demand for public forums, civic affairs and speaking engagements.
