Vice Mayor Norma D. Lim

I am currently the Vice Mayor of Jimenez, Misamis ,Occidental PHILIPPINES. Let me share to you what my duties and responsibilities are. Vice Mayor is an elective or appointive office of the second-ranking official in many local governments. Many elected Vice Mayors are members of the city council who are given the title and serve as acting mayor in the mayor's absence. Appointive Vice Mayors serve at the pleasure of the mayor and may function as chief operating officers; in some large communities such as Jimenez, there are multiple Vice Mayors who handle coordination of specific policy areas. There may be within the same municipal government a Vice Mayor or mayors appointed by the mayor to policy areas and a popularly-elected vice mayor who serves as the mayor's successor in the event the office is vacated by death, resignation, disability, or even impeachment. In other cities and towns the vice mayor presides over the city council, and may not vote except to break ties. Like the Vice Mayors in other systems, the popularly-elected vice mayor becomes acting mayor in the mayor's absence. As previously noted, in some few cities, this office is elected separately and does not entail the elevation by the council of one of its members to be speaker. In some cities, the mayor and deputy or vice mayor run together as a ticket similar to how president and vice president run at the national level. I have been serving Jimenez as a Vice Mayor for the past 9 years. I am happy and very proud of what I have done and in serving the people of Jimenez. Together with my supportive husband and understanding children I welcome you to my web site.
