History
Prior its creation, the equivalent to the office of mayor was referred to as the President of the Board of Trustees. The title of mayor was officially created in 1908, following the completion of the new city charter. Until 1988, the mayor was indirectly elected by the city council from amongst themselves. The first mayor to be directly elected was Ernie Kell in 1988.[2]
