Managing America's Small Communities charts several key aspects of
the largely unexamined world of small city management. This book
describes the democraphic trends, structural features, executive
behavior and service quality among small communities. Are small
cities growing, declining or have they remained untouched by the
force of change? To what extent have the structural changes and
reforms that have swept through larger cities touched small
communities? What are the characteristics and behaviors of small
city chief executives and how involved are different executives in
the dimensions of the governmental process? How do chief executives
in small cities make decisions about local services and programs?
Are there differences in the extent to which appointed managers and
elected mayors are responsive to community interests? The book also
examines the frequency with which small communities provide various
services, the quality of services provided and how small city
officials can diagnose problems with service quality and
performance. The book's theme is the value added to small
communities that evidence professionalism in city administration.
The benefits that accrue to having a professional city manager are
most apparent in the extent to which city managers are engaged in
decisions related to each of the dimensions of the governmental
process, the level of service quality provided, and the prospects
for measuring service performance.
