  Each municipality has an elected-nonpartisan council where the highest vote-getter is designated mayor.  Mayors preside during mayor's court, among various other roles.  These mayor-council arrangements pass municipal ordinances and affect municipal taxes, such as the municipal income tax where most of the revenue comes from.
