Correct answer: manage city departments.
Explanation: A "strong mayor" system concentrates executive authority in the mayor — hiring/firing department heads, running city departments, preparing the budget, and often veto power. The mayor does not appoint council members (they are elected), does not itself make laws (the council is the legislative body, though the mayor can propose policies and veto ordinances), and does not unilaterally create the city charter (charters are adopted/changed by voters or charter commissions).
