Department of State:
The Department of State will facilitate the City Council. The Mayor will retain the power to communicate proposals and oversee council affairs but the Department of State will ensure the Council is abiding by regulations set forth by Cabinet.
The Department of State will be responsible for holding Mayoral and Council elections. Once the Mayor of Hamilton is elected, the subsequent council elections will occur. Mayors are elected every two months whilst advisors are elected every month.
The Mayor can request for additions to be made to the council in the form of additional members or powers, however, all requests must be communicated via the Secretary of State and approved by the President and Cabinet.
Members of the Executive Cabinet:
Outside of official proposals offered by the Council, Executive Cabinet members may at any time reach out via the Hamilton City Council discord to gain insight or information as to possible additions to the City or their Department.
The President and Cabinet:
The President and Cabinet retain the right to disband the council via a simple majority vote at any point for any of the following reasons:
- The council poses a credible threat to the City of Hamilton
- The council is inactive or underperforming to the point where it has become effectively useless.
