City of Plymouth Proposed 2022-2023 Budget - Flipbook - Page 286
MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
Description of responsibilities and services:
Voters elect seven commission members at large, and the commission elects a mayor and
mayor pro tem among them. Commissioners serve either two- or four-year terms which end
on a rolling basis so there are always experienced members to mentor any new members.
They meet the first and third Monday of every month, unless Monday is a holiday. In that case,
the meeting moves to Tuesday. Meetings are held in the City Commission Chambers at
Plymouth City Hall, although in the summer months they sometimes meet in one of the City’s
parks.
A typical Commission meeting includes approving special events that take place downtown,
reviewing recommendations by the administration on current projects and voting on
resolutions to support the recommendations or to request changes. There may also be a
public hearing when required, for example, when approving liquor licenses. Near the
beginning of every meeting, the mayor asks for citizen comments. This portion of the meeting
allows up to three minutes for citizens to present information or to raise issues regarding items
not on the agenda. Upon rising to address the commission, speakers should first identify
themselves by clearly stating their name and address. Comments must be limited to the
subject of the item.
