Question
With regards to the municipal corporation:
Describe the three wings of the Municipal Committee.
Solution
The three wings of the Municipal Committee are:
- General body of the Municipal Committee: The General Body is made up of elected Councillors who represent municipal wards. The number of councillors is determined by the city's population. It acts as the primary decision-making body, deciding on municipal policies and programs.
- Chairperson/President: The Chairperson (or President) and Vice Chairperson are elected indirectly by the Councillors. The Chairperson has great authority, as she oversees policy execution and sits over meetings. Their responsibilities are similar to those of a Mayor in larger municipal organizations.
- Chief Executive officer: The CEO is selected by the state government and is generally a member of the state civil service. They manage the municipality's administrative activities, ensuring effective program execution and regulatory compliance. The CEO acts as the link between the elected bodies and the government.
