Question

Which form of municipal government best completes the title of the chart?

Answer 1

The right answer is D: Mayor-Council. In this form of municipal government a mayor, or executive leader, is elected separately from the council, or legislative leaders. In addition, he or she has important authority in administrative and budgetary issues and, depending on the municipal charter (a document that establishes the municipality), he or she can have very strong powers or more limited ones. Sometimes, municipalities appoint a professional manager, whose administrative authority is more limited. This is one of the most common forms of government. Minneapolis, for instance, is managed through this form of government.
