Composition of college B&W

The College of Mayor and Aldermen (B&W) is the daily administration of the municipality. The municipal council appoints the aldermen. 

The college executes laws and deals with the preparation and implementation of council proposals and decisions. The mayor and aldermen have divided tasks: the so-called portfolio division. The portfolio division is shown below. They meet every Monday. These meetings are not public, but a decision list of each meeting is made public.
