Page "Worcester, Massachusetts" Paragraph 32

Initially, Plan E government in Worcester was organized as a 9-member council ( all at-large ), a ceremonial mayor elected from the council by the councilors, and a council-appointed city manager.

The manager oversees the daily administration of the city, makes all appointments to city offices, and can be removed at any time by a majority vote of the Council.

The mayor chairs the city council and the school committee, and does not have the power to veto any vote.
