<br />3 <br />As the City's chief executive officer, the City Manager oversees the day-to-day <br />administrative affairs of the City, including assigning staff to assist boards and <br />commissions in carrying out their responsibilities. The City Manager is responsible for <br />conveying and implementing City Council policy. <br /> <br />QUASI-JUDICIAL VS. ADVISORY ROLES <br />The quasi-judicial boards are those that act like a judge in their proceedings and make <br />decisions affecting a specific persons rights based on applying specific criteria to an <br />application.
