The city commission model of government is a system where a group of elected officials, known as commissioners, collectively make decisions and manage the city's affairs. Each commissioner typically oversees a specific department, such as public safety or finance, fostering a collaborative approach to governance. This model emphasizes shared leadership and accountability, but can sometimes lead to challenges in coordination and clarity of responsibility. It is often contrasted with the mayor-council model, where executive authority is concentrated in a single elected mayor.
