The Council-Manager Form of City Government: Roles and Responsibilities

The video tutorial explains the differences between the mayor council and council manager forms of city government. In the council manager system, the City Council holds executive power and hires a city manager to run the city's operations. The city manager is responsible for enforcing laws and managing city agencies. This system is advantageous because the city manager can be replaced if not performing well, and they often have relevant experience. However, some citizens may dislike the unelected power of the city manager. The video concludes with a quiz to reinforce learning.
