village government
Township governing body
Village government is the administrative body that manages a village's local affairs—maintaining roads, providing basic services, and enforcing ordinances.
In the United States, villages are typically smaller incorporated municipalities with limited powers compared to cities or towns.
The village government voted to install new streetlights.
Structure varies by state: some have elected trustees and a mayor, others operate through town meetings.
