	VIII. Campus Objects
	Article 81-Campus Executive and Administration
81.1	Campus Executive and Administration
	The executive Power of the District shall be vested in an executive government comprising of a Mayor and the Campus Board of Directors.
81.2	The Mayor
	The Mayor is the supreme leader of the Campus, its head and prime representative. The office of the Mayor is the highest elected office of a district and at all times should be considered with the greatest dignity and respect.
	Power of the Mayor
	By virtue of this Charter, a Mayor is vested with the executive authority to manage the needs and affairs of the Campus through the selection or dismissal of wise counsel in the form of their Campus Board of Directors, the agencies, officials and administration of the Campus Government.
	The Mayor shall have the authority over all agencies and Campus Directors as Chairman of the Board of Directors. As Chairman, the Mayor may choose to overrule motions of the Board and select the agenda and minutes of the Board meetings.
	The Mayor shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Assembly, shall appoint public officials and magistrates, and all other Officers of the Campus, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Assembly may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the Mayor alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
	Oath of the Mayor
	Prior to the commencement of their term of office, the Mayor shall make the following public oath- “--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of Mayor of (Campus), and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Campus of (campus) and the Charter of the Union.”
	Term of the Mayor
	The Mayor shall hold their Office during the Term of two Years, and be elected by Campus election following the procedures for general, state and national elections contained within this Charter.
	Maximum term tenure of Mayor
	By this Charter a Mayor is ineligible to serve beyond a total of four terms (8) years. A Mayor having served the nation for greater than fourteen (14) years shall be known as a Grand Mayor.
	Payment of the Mayor
	The Mayor shall, at stated Times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which they shall have been elected, and shall not receive any other income during their term.
81.3	Campus Board of Directors (Campus Board)
	In the good management of the Campus, its affairs and requirements can be compared to the good conduct of a corporation with its Members as shareholders.
	The Campus Board of Directors shall be a board of individuals selected by the Mayor to head the permanent statutory authorities and uphold the laws regarding the critical systems of the district. The tenure of a Director shall be at the sole discretion of the Mayor.
	Given the importance of each system within our society functioning to its optimum, the position of a Campus Director should reflect the very best of the community with the knowledge, experience and respect relating to the system they manage.
81.4	Campus administration
	The local civil service includes every officer and employee of a local county body or agency, except as otherwise provided in this Charter for a Campus. All positions in the civil service shall be subject to the terms and conditions of employment as specified by the civil service statutes of the State to which the county belongs.
	In the civil service, permanent appointment and promotion shall be made under a general system based on merit ascertained by competitive examination.
81.5	Local Laws and Regulations
	While a Campus Parliament is free to make laws and regulations which are in the best interests of the Members of the Campus, the following conditions must always be met for each and every Bill. A failure of a law of a Campus to meet this criteria shall deem that law illegal, whether or not it has been passed by the Campus Parliament and/or Mayor or not.
	Best interests of the County
	That in relation to legislation and regulations concerning the creation, disposal and/or management of assets of the Campus, that the law serves the best interests of the Campus first and any special interests and third parties last;
	Consistency with Charter
	That the proposed law does not directly contradict any of the articles of this Charter.
