PHILADELPHIA HOME RULE CHARTER
CHAPTER 2 CITY REPRESENTATIVE
§4-200. Ceremonial Representative.
Subject to the direction of the Mayor, the City
Representative shall be the ceremonial representative of the City and especially
of the Mayor.
ANNOTATION
Sources: No specific source.
Purposes: The office of ceremonial representative is created
to relieve a busy Mayor from the necessity of attending those public civic and
social functions to which a Mayor is customarily invited. It will thus enable
the Mayor to devote his time primarily to the operations of the City government.
However, the Mayor will decide the extent to which the City Representative shall
be his alter ego at public functions.
