Local governments have a lot of branches. They have judicial (courts), executive (mayors), and legislative (board/council) branches just like the federal government, and then they have many departments that mirror the federal agencies. Many local governments will have a Power Authority or a Department of Transportation, which technically could be called executive as they implement regulations, but it's easiest to think of them as separate agencies responsible for a set of duties. Other agencies deal with public safety, social services, and education, so there's quite a variety.
