Once called Town Clerk, now different fancy titles in different cities.

its the parliament
It is a republic with a unicameral legislative body.
The simple answer is "legislative", though more appropriately "Congress". This is, however, slightly misleading. The Articles of Confederation set up a government with ONLY one body, a unicameral (one-house) Congress, so it's hardly proper to speak of a "branch". Rather ALL governmental functions it had - legislative, executive or judicial - divided amongst three branches under the Constitution, rested with this body. Nonetheless, the Congress was primarily a LEGISLATIVE body, comprised of a delegation from each state (the delegation of each state could have from two to seven members, though each delegation only had ONE vote in the body's deliberations). Congress did also have some executive and judicial [Article 9] functions, albeit VERY limited ones. This body was essentially a continuation of the Second Continental Congress and functioned in much the same way. (The executive limitations of this government, that is, the lack of authority to ENFORCE [execute!]legislation, esp. to compel the payment of taxes to support the national government, became one of the major arguments for the Constitution with its addition of a separate, and stronger executive. As for taxes, under the Articles Congress [designated "the United States, in Congress assembled"] would determine the taxes due from each state, but it was up to the states' own legislatures to enforce their collection and hand it over to the national government.)

The two are not comparable. The senate was not an elected body. During the period of the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) it was composed of patricians (aristocrats) and former executive officers of state. It was not a legislative body either. In the Early Republic, bills were proposed by the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and were voted on by the soldiers gathered in the Assembly of the Soldiers. Later in the Republic the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians, the commoners) became the proposers of bills and the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the commoners) became the legislative body. There were five types of executive officers of state who were all elected. They acted independently within the remit of their office. There was not a centralised executive, like a cabinet or an administration. During the subsequent period of rule by emperors (27 BC-476 AD) the emperors were absolute rulers.

CommissionIt would be the Mayor and City Council form of local, municipal government. This form of government is similar to the national form of government. In this type of local government, the Mayor is the administrative, executive head (as is the President of the United States) and the City Council (like the U.S. Legislature) is the legislative body.

In a municipal budget, the legislative body typically has the authority to veto specific budget items through a formal process. This usually involves a vote by the legislative members, where a majority can decide to reject or modify certain allocations. The vetoed items may be returned to the executive branch for reconsideration, or the legislative body may propose alternative funding solutions. The procedures and rules governing this process can vary based on local laws and regulations.
It is normally called the City Council, but in some places it is called the Board of Alderman. The mayor is usually the leader.
executive
Legislative power over executive is clearly stipulated by the constitution. Besides making laws, the legislative is tasked with the duty of keeping the executive in check and vetoing any policies formulated by the executive.
