Deputy mayor
The deputy mayor (also known as vice mayor, mayor pro tempore, and assistant mayor) is an elective or appointive office of the second-ranking official that is present in many local governments.
Many elected deputy mayors are members of the local government who are given the title and serve as acting mayor in the mayor's absence. Appointive deputy mayors serve at the pleasure of the mayor and may function as chief operating officers.
There may be within the same municipal government one or more deputy mayors appointed to oversee policy areas together with a popularly-elected vice mayor who serves as the mayor's successor in the event the office is vacated by death, resignation, disability, or impeachment.
In other cities, the deputy mayor presides over the city council, and may not vote except to break ties. Like the deputy mayor in other systems, the popularly elected deputy mayor becomes an Acting Mayor in the original mayor's absence. As previously noted in some cities, this office is elected separately and does not entail the elevation by the council of one of its members to be speaker. In some U.S. cities, the mayor and deputy mayor run together as a citywide ticket similar to how the president and vice president run at the national level. In other cities, particularly those with council–manager governments, the council selects one of its members to be vice mayor or mayor pro tem(pore).
In New York City, there are multiple deputy mayors who handle coordination of specific policy areas where the First Deputy Mayor serves as the general deputy mayor for the Mayor of New York City.
In St. Louis, Missouri, there are multiple deputy mayors who handle coordination of specific policy areas where the deputy Mayors serves as the general deputy's mayors for the Mayor of St. Louis.
In Cincinnati, Ohio, the vice mayor is appointed by the mayor from amongst the elected city council members. On November 18, 2021, then-Mayor-Elect Aftab Pureval announced that Cincinnati City Councilmember Jan-Michele Kearney would serve as vice mayor once his administration assumed office in January. She was sworn in on January 4, 2022. Jan-Michele Kearney
The office of deputy mayor exists in many, but not all, Canadian cities; however, it is not an independent or directly-elected position in its own right, and is simply an additional title held by one or more sitting members of the municipal council alongside their role as councillor. The method of selection for the role varies by city, however.
