City Hall
Cape Suzette's municipal government meets in City Hall, the
building that holds the offices of administration. This city
headquarters is part of a downtown center that plays host
once a year to the Cape Suzette Friendship Festival. Within
the storied power structure of City Hall, elected officials
execute their sworn duties of civic management in a microcosm
of Usland's federal system. Departmental agencies include
the police and fire departments, public works, and the Board
of Aviation. Though clear of corruption, City Hall traditionally
squares off against irate locals and newspaper columnists
who want their leaders to assert authority over special interests
and big business. City Hall has come under real attack also,
during a citywide coup attempted by crime kingpin Heimlich
Menudo.

| None other
than His Honor, the Mayor of Cape Suzette. |
The governing body of Cape Suzette is made up of representatives
appointed to office by an elected leader the same process
that occurs on a national scale with Usland's president and
his cabinet. Winning candidates assign aides in city council
and district offices, to oversee the workings of a metropolis
that is home to a million people.
The perennial reelection of Cape Suzette's mayor points to
his fulfilled pledges and tireless public involvement (even
if he strikes one as somewhat inapt for the role). Other civic
duties rest on the shoulders of councils such as the Aviation
Board, and community associations like the Chamber of Commerce
(led by Mrs. John D. Rockefeather, committee chairwoman).
Members of these groups attend social galas such as the Pilot's
Ball, the Air Police Ball, and the Businessman's Ball.
