What type of government system reduces the influence of political parties and ensures that the day-to-day
operations of a city are run by an experienced professional?
a
city manager
b. political machine
c. direct democracy
d. county commissioner

The correct answer is A: CITY MANAGER

Explanation:

The city manager is the one appointed by the city council, in charge of legislative issues and management. Thus, the merge of both administrations conforms an excellent system for leadership and professional organization in the current government.  

Moreover, the city manager has the ability of acting ethically, responsibly and transparently, as his or her main duty is to carry out decisions made within the city council legislation. The manager’s expertise creates a separation between politics and the implementation of political duties. Therefore, there are little chances of corruptive actions or liabilities malfunction, as everything is being carried out like in an enterprise or company. The chain of responsibilities follows orders from a board- the city council- and the city manager acts out to perform everything as blatantly as possible.
