What is the Commission-Manager form, which is used in so many local governments?
The Commission-Manager form is the system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a Commission or other governing body, with the strong Managerial experience of an appointed local government Manager. The form establishes a representative system where all power is concentrated in the elected Commission and where the Commission hires a professionally trained Manager to oversee the delivery of public services.
