Rosemary,
I never receive objects from the City's mayors--only papers. I assume that
each mayor has kept such gift for his or herself. I'm glad, too, because I
really don't have a lot of room here and I need to manage our space
carefully.
If I did receive objects, I would offer them to the history museum in our
City. Perhaps this doesn't answer your question very well, but if the
Mayor gave us his or her plaques, etc., I would consider them public
property, giving me the freedom to treat them however I wish. I wouldn't
feel comfortable throwing them away outright, though.

What do you do with the "stuff" given to the Mayor as he performs his
"social" functions? I'm talking about plaques, posters, signed team
balls, desk sets, framed and unframed photographs of the event, etc.,
etc.
Are these considered the property of the City (like gifts to the
President are property of the US), or are they personal and taken with
him/her when she leaves office?
Thank you for responding to this and to all involved in this List.
It's been a great source of information for me and thanks especially to
Peter K. for his RAIN postings.
