In a city council-mayor plan, the mayor serves as the executive leader with significant authority, often elected directly by the public, and oversees city operations and administration.

The city manager is typically a professional administrator, while the mayor's role can vary depending on whether the system is strong or weak. Overall, the key difference lies in the distribution of power and the method of leadership selection.

In the council-manager model, the mayor is often ceremonial in nature.

This model emphasizes professional management of city affairs, distinguishing it from other models where the mayor may have more substantial authority.
