Here's a "weak vs. strong mayor" gov't structure question from 2017.
Jacob Frey: "What we have is a decentralized system. And the only way that you get things done ... is if you're willing to build out a broad based coalition." Emphasizing how well he works with others.

I was reminded of this answer because Mayor Frey hasn't shown up for his bi-weekly covid-19 public health emergency update since February 12. This is the emergency declaration that gave him the power to misappropriate funds.

Mayor Frey's absence from these updates is regularly called out by some council members. Here's an example from last month.

Another thing I'm reminded of is this video of the mayor working with others. Kinda feels like a guy under a lot of stress, and being a weirdo, but is actually from May 22, 2020, three days before George Floyd was murdered.
The best part of the "Schroeder's not my baby" taunt is Mayor Frey getting detailed about how long the nursing period is for a typical human baby.
Remembering back to two weeks ago when I thought "Agape" was pronounced like the word for the shape of my mouth when I heard Jacob Frey had abdicated his mayoralty to Steve Floyd, aka Mayor Agape.
