    The “public service bargain” in local government: A new way of looking at relations between municipal councils and CAOs
    in Canadian Public Administration , Volume 58, issue 3 ,  2015 ,  406-425
    This article examines the link in local government between the mayor and councillors, on one hand, and the chief administrative officer (CAO), on the other hand. The CAO is an essential link in the accountability process that flows from the electorate through the municipal council to the public servants who work for the municipality. In practice, this delicate linkage has frequently been forged in an ad hoc manner by trial and error. This article proposes a framework for a more solid structure for this important relationship.
