 | | The mayor, who is elected every even-numbered year, is the presiding officer of the City Council and has the power to appoint all Council committee members as well as board and commission members, with the approval of the City Council. |
 | | Additionally, Willow Run Airport in nearby Ypsilanti serves freight, corporate, and general aviation clients, and some people use Windsor Airport, 50 miles (80 km) east of the city, for commercial flight as it can actually be a shorter trip than the Detroit airport depending on traffic. |
