Relationship Between Commissioners And Staff

A commenter asked the following question: "Just out of curiosity, how do you define what things need Commission approval at a public meeting versus things that should just be handled by the City Manager?"

I gave the link to the city charter, but this document may help as well.

So are we to assume that under our city charter the city manager is the 'Executive Branch' and the commissioners the 'Congress' to represent the People and the 'power of the purse? I still think commissioners should able to hire department chiefs based on city manager 'short list' recommendations.....
