He stated that a Mayor could only do what two other members of the Council allow them to do. He made the following suggestion: that the Council in future consider the Mayor's term to be a two year term, and either the selection be made by the voters or by Council action in order to do the job justice. Mayor Teglia stated that Councilman Drago had done an absolutely stellar job on keeping this City on top, and she had absolute respect for people of this Council because people don't realize the work that goes into sitting on the Council.
