1 answer
The system of government where multiple officials are elected to run various city departments is called a "Council-Manager" system. In this system, elected officials (usually called city councilors or commissioners) are responsible for making policy decisions and hires a professional city manager to handle the day-to-day administration of the city. The city manager oversees the various city departments and implements the policies set by the elected officials.
