<br /> s
<br /> The city managed form of government came into existence
<br /> to meet two basic needs : (1) a need s:or rerorm in the actual . .
<br /> management of the functions of goverrenent, to cut out the
<br /> misuse of funds—to !�eep the records accurately, and to do
<br /> things in an efficient and professional fashion, and (2)
<br /> - to meet the needs for someone to be constantly there running
<br /> the govarroDen_t when the part-time council members were not.
<br /> We find that the cit .-nail tw form of ,overnment almost always
<br /> goes along with a pnrt-t: mc: coun.cii . The councils which
<br /> formerly ran most of their business , found that they eouldn` t
<br /> do this and hired a professional m negor.
<br /> 1 `3:1113 professional
<br /> manager focused on those a^pccts of government ' that were tech®
<br /> nical anr+ scientific. Most of the early managers were
<br /> engineers because most of the funds spent in local governments
<br /> were for public works . Therefore, the focus of attention of
<br /> the pr_'c ession;l manager was on the engineering and rleicntific
<br /> aspect oL government.
