This is a list of mayors of Los Angeles, California. The Mayor of Los Angeles is elected for a four year term. The mayor is also limited to a two term limit. Under the City Charter , the office is non-partisan. The mayor has an office in the Los Angeles City Hall . Los Angeles has a strong mayor council form of government, giving the mayor the position of chief executive of the city. The city does not have a city manager and as a result, the mayor truly is the one responsible, much like a President or Governor, for the success of the city. The mayor is given the authority to appoint general managers and commissioners, remove officials from city posts, and is required to propose a budget each year. Most of the Mayor's appointments and proposals are subject to approval by the City Council. The organization of the Mayor's Office changes with administration, but is most always governed by a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, director of communications, and several deputy mayors. Each Mayor also organizes his office into different offices, usually containing the Los Angeles Housing Team, Los Angeles Business Team, Office of International Trade, Mayor's Volunteer Corps, and Office of Immigrant Affairs, among other divisions. The title should not be confused with the Mayor of the County Of Los Angeles . That title is occasionally used by the chair of the Los Angeles County Board Of Supervisors . The Los Angeles County Mayor position is a rotating position and purely ceremonial. __FORCETOC__ LIST OF MAYORS Note: Officially, the position is non-partisan, meaning that there is no intra-party primary, followed by a general election.
