Chair/speaker/whatever.
They can take it in turn, electing who they like, to ensure their meetings run successfully..
No need for that chair to do all the ribbon cutting, and associated pomp that goes with the mayoral role now. Which is basically just a prize, awarded to councillors who've kept their nose relatively clean for the longest time.
I'd much prefer a borough wide poll for someone to represent us as a symbolic first citizen, who'd done something worthwhile.
Councillors, of course, would be free to enter.
