, but with more power given to the elected mayor or executive. The strong-mayor form concentrates power in the executive, giving them control over the budget, appointments, and veto power, while the weak-mayor system typically has a ceremonial mayor with limited powers and decision-making authority held by the city council or other elected officials.
