Question

Compare and contrast the council-manager and commission form styles of city government.

Answer 1

In the mayor council government, the city council is the legislative body, while the mayor is the city's chief executive officer. In this government they have a weak mayor plan, which limits the power of the mayor and gives more power to the city council, and the strong-mayor plan, which gives more power to the mayor and less to the city council. In this type of government city council members and mayors are usually elected. The council-manager government is a commission with a city manager. Voters elect a city council. The council then appoints a city manager. The city manager then appoints the heads of city departments. They are the same because in both they elect a city council.
