town managers
Local government heads
Town managers are appointed officials who oversee the daily administrative operations of a municipality, handling budgets, personnel, and public services while reporting to an elected town council or board.
Unlike mayors, who are typically elected and serve political functions, town managers are hired professionals selected for their administrative expertise.
The town manager recommended cuts to the parks department budget.
This form of municipal government is common in smaller communities throughout the United States.
