Answer 2

Answer:

The lack of chief executive makes it difficult to assign responsibility for key leadership issues in the commission form of government.

Explanation:

In the city commission government there is no particular defined mayor, but a commission made up of between 5 and 7 members who define their decisions based on the majority vote. In certain cases a "mayor" may be appointed among the members of the commission, but the truth is that it is a mere formal designation, lacking political weight.

This situation is usually a problem in terms of the effectiveness of this form of political organization, since the search for consensus requires an expense of time that can result in damage to the city at the time of decision-making, since it depends from a previous debate that can extend over time.
