He is the chief conservator of the peace in the village and has the duty to see that all ordinances, bylaws and resolutions of council are faithfully obeyed and enforced. The mayor is the president of council and attends all regular and special meetings at which he presides. He advises the council from time to time relative to the finances of the village and as to the general conditions existing within the village.

The village has a mayor's court, which is presided over by a magistrate under the direction of the mayor.
