 Maine State Government Internship Program - Welcome Page
The manager is vested with administrative authority to appoint and supervise personnel, to prepare and administer the budget and to make recommendations and reports to the council.
The Maine manager plan might be described as the channeling of direction and control over municipal administration through a single administrator appointed by and responsible to a small municipal legislative and/or executive body elected on a non-partisan basis.
The council-manager form of government is used in 40 Maine municipalities and represents one-fifth of all manager plan municipalities.

 Council-manager government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the council-manager form of government, an elected city council (typically between 5 and 11 people) is responsible for making policy, passing ordinances, voting appropriations, and having overall supervisory authority in the city government.
However, a city manager can be seen as a similar role to that of corporate CEO in providing professional management to an organization.
Municipal governments are usually administratively divided into several departments, depending on the size of the city.

 City of Hickory - Council/Manager History
Its unwieldy council, 30 legislative committees, a mayor's veto, and lack of municipal employees gave Ashburner an unenviable task.

 Sumter Council/Manager Plan & Structure
Childs noted that to be like a corporation, the commission would have to have a manager who is responsible to the governing board and who would direct the department heads and employees.
Council then had two options - to ask for reconsideration of the 4-2-1 plan or to submit another plan.
In a paper, The Small Beginnings of the Council Manger Plan, written by Richard Childs in 1963, he stared, "It was a time when the crust of custom was being cracked and the idea that the universal mayor-and- council plan was the only form of government for a city could be challenged.

The manager is administrative head of town government, responsible to the selectmen for the administration of all departments under its control.
More pervasive in Maine council-manager charters is the requirement that the council, not the manager, appoint other municipal officials such as clerks, solicitors, assessors, tax collectors, treasurers, or auditors who are then responsible to the manager, but as a practical matter may also be responsible to the council which appoints them.

 Handbook of Texas Online: COUNCIL-MANAGER FORM OF CITY GOVERNMENT
Today, most city managers have graduate degrees in public or business administration and may be paid as much as $150,000 a year.
The norm for Texas cities is token pay, consistent with the original concept of the council-manager plan, which placed policy responsibility in a part-time elected body, and management of the city's business in a professional city manager.
Under these, if a manager is involuntarily dismissed, he receives a specified amount of termination pay.
