Not alone they can't. Assuming the city has a City Council they are the one's to pass tax increases, changes in By-Laws, City Ordinances, etc. The Mayor's power is depending completely on the City By-Laws, but normally they can only vote in the case of a tie vote among City Council. They have no veto power, but do have the power to set the agenda, which most Mayors and Chairpersons don't realize how much power this gives them.
