What is the difference between a city council meeting and a commission meeting?

Question

I sat in on the latter, but didn't realize it until "the commission" was mentioned. I'm a bit confused. Are there different processes involved in them? Is there a difference?

Answer 1

different levels

Answer 2

I'm not positive about your situation, but here in GA  the commission would most likely be the county commission. the city council is a separate entity within the county. most government entities use the Roberts rules of parliamentary procedure as their meeting format. but set up their own rules for other things.

Answer 3

Well it may vary but we used to have the electric light commission, the water and sewer commission, etc. These groups provide a service to citizens at a price (similar to a business) but was owned and operated by the city.
