During the reorganization meeting, the governing body will vote on one commissioner to serve as Mayor and another to serve as Deputy Mayor - slated to be Lagos and Sciortino, respectively - and formally select which of the following city departments each commissioner will oversee, as required by state law: Public Property, Streets and Water; Public Safety and Affairs; and Revenue and Finance.
