The Executive Office of the Mayor was responsible for day-to-day operations of the Mayor's Office. The files are primarily in-coming and out-going correspondence and subject files arranged alphabetically and chronologically within each category. Folders generally contain both correspondence and subject material.

Included are inter-office memos; citizen complaints and requests for assistance; invitations; letters (both in-coming and out-going) of congratulations, recommendation and thanks; correspondence with individuals, businesses, and organizations; correspondence and other materials dealing with city agencies (notably with the City Council, the Law Department, the "Drug Office," the Police Department, Parkway and Parks, and the Streets Department) and with city or regional boards and commissions, with state and federal boards and agencies and with the judiciary. There are also 28 folders labeled "Correspondence--General." Given the partial coverage of the records turned over to the City Archives, reading files (1986-1987) and mail logs (1989-January, 1992) have been retained and filed chronologically at the end of the subject files.
