What is the role of a Key Colony Beach City Commissioner?

Section 4-4. - Powers. "All powers of the City, except as otherwise provided by this Charter or by the Constitution of the State, are hereby vested in the City Commission..."

» Wow.
» Elected city commissioners have a triple role. They represent the public interest by overseeing the city's management and administration, representing city interests at the county and state level, performing short- and long-range planning, and managing the city budget and finances. They represent the public interest as local legislators, entrusted with enacting the laws (ordinances, resolutions, or municipal orders) under which the city operates. And they represent the public interest as de facto local jurists, enforcing those local laws. KCB Commissioners are elected for four-year terms.
» Elected city commissioners labor under often conflicting demands...
» Elected city commissioners take an oath not to be a butthead, to follow the law, and to do what's right for their city.
» With all of that, a city commission is a representative form of government. The first job of the commissioner is to do what their constituents want, even if those constituents are wrong, remembering that an elected official is not the "boss." The voters are.
