COMMISSION FORM OF CITY GOVERNMENT. The commission form of city government, also known as the Galveston Plan, was devised in Galveston in 1901 and became one of the three basic forms of municipal government in the United States. (The others are mayor-council and council-manager.) Under the commission plan voters elect a small governing commission, typically five or seven members, on an at-large basis.

Individually, each commissioner is in charge of a specific aspect of municipal affairs, e.g., public works, finance, or public safety.
