Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Commissioners are a form of government where elected officials serve as both executives and legislators, with each commissioner being responsible for a specific department or area of government. Strong-mayor councils have a clear separation of powers between the executive mayor and legislative council, while mayor-councils have a weaker mayor role and a separate legislative council. Weak-mayor councils have a mayor who serves primarily as a ceremonial figurehead, with most executive power being held by an appointed city manager.
