Commission Operates Like A City Board of Directors
Richard S. Childs argues the commission manager plan centralizes responsibility and accountability, replacing elected executives with a nonpartisan city manager chosen for merit. The system mirrors corporate boards and school districts, promising experienced leadership and a merit-based staff while reducing the spoils system. If the manager performs, he keeps his post and advances. if not, he is replaced.
