Each mayor's duties and powers is set out in the city's charter and the laws the city council passes. They can vary greatly from city to city, from purely symbolic power as the head of the town council, to something akin to a governor in a metro area.

strategic planning\n\nStrategic planning consists of the process of developing strategies to reach a defined objective. As we label a piece of planning "strategic" we expect it to operate on the grand scale and to take in "the big picture" (in contradistinction to "tactical" planning, which by definition has to focus more on the tactics of individual detailed activities). "Long range" planning typically projects current activities and programs into a revised view of the external world, thereby describing results that will most likely occur (whether the planner wants them or not!) "Strategic" planning tries to "create" more desirable future results by (a) influencing the outside world or (b) adapting current programs and actions so as to have more favorable outcomes in the external environment.\n\nStrategic planning takes place primarily in military situations (see military strategy), in business activities and in government. Within business, strategic planning may provide overall direction (called strategic management) to a company or give specific direction in such areas as:\n\n    * Financial strategies\n    * Human resource/organizational development strategies\n    * Information technology deployments\n    * Marketing strategy\n\nWithin government, strategic planning provides guidance for organizational management similar to that for business, but also provides guidance for the evolution or modification of public policy and laws. Areas of such public policy include:\n\n    * Funding of infrastructure and rate-setting (streets, water-supplies, sewers, and parks)\n    * Functional plans such as for land use, transportation, and water resources\n    * Growth management and/or comprehensive planning\n\nBut strategic planning can occur in a wide variety of activities from election campaigns to athletic competitions, as well as in strategic games such as chess. This article looks at strategic planning in a generic way so its content can apply to any of the above areas. An effective strategy will:\n\n    * Have the capability to obtain the desired objective\n    * Fit well both with the external environment and with an organization's resources and core competencies - it should appear feasible and appropriate\n    * Have the capability of providing an organization with a sustainable competitive advantage - ideally through uniqueness and sustainability\n    * Prove dynamic, flexible, and able to adapt to changing situations\n    * Suffice on its own - specifically providing value or favorable outcomes without the need for cross-subsidization

Traffic advisories, a way to submit problem reports (like pot holes, bad traffic lights, ideas for improved safety), a listing of local housing available, a listing of government offices and their locations (DMVs, county clerks, court houses), schedules for local garbage pick-ups.

You should just stick with local issues...who the mayor is of their city, etc. Keep it simple, they don't understand the abstract of  US "politics" yet...

In the city there is rarely anyone above the mayor, though as someone else said there is sometimes a city manager who actually runs things. While the governor of a state may have more overall power, he/she cannot actually do anything in the city itself, so he is less powerful than the mayor.

Financial backing from public and private interests. Not only that, the city has to have a decent world reputation and not be in the negative public eye over over things that would make anyone not want to come to that place.

I think that your city council is a GREAT place to take that concept. City planners are kind of the base level of government, as it were, and most representative, because they deal with US citizens everyday. If many cities across the nation come to similar conclusions on the issue, and pass to county, to state, and on up to Washington, then there'll be consensus and consequently better national policy. These people are our elected and appointed officials, and they should kind of be listening on this one, even if they think they're rich enough to just disregard all that, or have lots of friends in the oil business or whatever, illegal immigration is one example issue that's an integrity-tester, because it deals with, what else, Large Sums Of Money. \n\nExample: I work for company X. I have a Suitcase Containing A Large Sum Of Money. You'll be the county planning guy, for purposes of this argument. My company, company X, wants to build a chicken processing plant(insert name of enterprise here), and bring our army of guatemalan illegal aliens who work for 2 bucks an hour, and we want to set it up in your county. Would you take the money?\nWe make a billion a year, net profit, with our nationwide chain of illegal chicken processing houses. The suitcase has 10 million dollars in it. Would you take the money? Hmmmm.....like I said, this is an integrity-tester...
