	City commission government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		City Commission government is a form of municipal government that was once common in the United States, but has fallen out of favor, most cities formerly governed by Commission having switched to the Council-Manager form.
		In a city commission government, voters elect a small commission, typically from five to seven members, on a plurality-at-large basis.
		This form of government originated in Galveston, Texas as a response to the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.
