To be effective, those in local government service must adequately respond to the many questions and demands raised from citizens, community groups, political leaders, department heads, and employees. It is with this in mind that Model Practices for Municipal Governments was developed. It is designed to assist both elected and appointed municipal officials with selected key practices in various municipal functional areas. The authors of this volume, collectively, have over a century of experience serving as municipal chief executive officers in towns and cities throughout the nation. Their current, or most recent, affiliation, is shown below.
