Answer 1

*These are the titles of local representatives in
Lawrence. Every city or town throughout the U.S.
decides what to call their elected officials. For
example, the legislative branch in other local
governments might be called the town board, board
of aldermen, city assembly, etc. In Lawrence, we call
them city council members (or city councilors). Some
towns/cities call their executive the “city manager”
instead of the Mayor.
