De Pere Mayor

The Mayor is elected on a non-partisan basis to office by the voters. The mayor serves a three-year term. The Mayor has a statutory duty to "take care" that city ordinances and state laws are observed and enforced. The Mayor is Chairperson of the Finance/Personnel Committee, the Board of Public Works, and Plan Commission. The Mayor is a member of the Council and votes on resolutions and ordinances in the same manner as every other council member; signs resolutions and ordinances; presides over meetings of the council; performs certain ceremonial duties; and makes appointments to the City's sixteen boards and commissions, subject to the approval of the council as a whole. The Mayor also issues proclamations and commendations to recognize the importance of a community event, significant achievements by community members, or to signal the City's role in major national events. In an effort to foster positive relationships and intergovernmental opportunities, the Mayor meets with elected officials from local municipalities. In addition, the Mayor also engages with representatives at the State and Federal level.
