Who is the head executive of a city?

Answer 1

In most forms of city government, it would be the mayor.

However, in other forms of city government, the head of the City Council would act as executive branch head, while in others, a City Manager position exists which heads the executive branch.

Overall, many forms of local government are more fluid in their form that larger state and federal governments. They tend to be functional forms of government, and not highly formalized; as such, many City Councils actually perform significant Executive Branch duties as well as Legislative Branch duties. As such, the boundaries between the Executive, Legislative, and even Judicial branches at the local government level are often significantly blurred.
