Council reviews draft mayor and council job descriptions; residency and term language clarified
Leslie council members reviewed draft job descriptions for the mayor and city council and provided edits and clarifications for the handbook.

Council discussion clarified that residency for both the mayor and council members must be within the Leslie city limits, and that eligibility to vote in municipal elections is required. Members debated whether mayoral and council terms should be two or four years and noted the town’s existing practice of two‑year terms. The draft lists responsibilities for the mayor such as presiding over council meetings, serving as liaison to county and state agencies, and collaborating with local businesses and residents; council duties include voting on ordinances, budgets and representing resident concerns.

Council asked staff to refine the language on duties (including "other duties as assigned") and to align technical titles used elsewhere in town handbooks and permits. Members agreed to finalize the job descriptions at the next meeting and to compare the draft to an existing handbook job description the clerk will provide.
