Senator für...

English translation: Senator for Interior, Culture and Sport

German term or phrase: Senator für...
Die Neufassung wurde durch den Senator für Inneres, Kultur und Sport [of name of city] am 19. Dezember 2001 genehmigt.

They also make reference to a resolution being adopted by the "Senat" of this city.

I find the use of "Senate" and "Senator" somewhat dubious as it seems more like they are referring to "town council" and "town councilman". (In the United States, "Senate" usually refers to a representative at the state- or Federal-level, not at the city level.

Thanks.

Explanation:
'Senator' seems to be a commonly used term for this context. There are plenty of google hits for 'Senator for Finance', 'Senator for Education', 'Senator for Economics' etc.

agree  Kim Metzger: Yes, a little online research would confirm that. Some German cities call their executive branches senates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremen_(state) http://international.hamburg.de/index.do?ok=18338&uk=18364

neutral  Richard Benham: I am not so sure that "senator" is apt. It might be best to use "minister" or put "Senator" in quotes with the explanation "(minister)" to make it clear what's going on.
