Most large cities use mayors smaller cities use a city manager. Large cities hire a professional to run every department in the city. As a result, the mayor can be assured he has a competent manager running a particular department or he can fire that manager and get a competent manager to run the department. Thus, when a large city police department becomes dysfunctional, the mayor simply fires the top cop and replaces him. It is the mayor's responsibility to see that he has all competent people in the top positions.
A smaller city will use a city manager. He will have fewer high paid department leaders and will need to know more about the nuts and bolts of municipal operations and management. He will be more involved in hands on work.
