Answer:

In the weak-mayor system form of city government, the city council makes most policy decisions while the mayor has 'limited authority'.

Explanation:

  • The laws regarding the powers of offices responsible for the functioning of local government bodies are framed by the state governments and are backed by the constitution of the states.
  • Some states have a strong-mayor system whereas others have a weak-mayor system.
  • In the weak-mayor system, the authority to make major decisions regarding the city is concentrated into the hands of multi-membered 'city council'.
