Earl Wignallin theoffice. Clarke, who took the oath of office at a noon ceremony told the inauguration audience he saw four inherent weaknesses in the commission form of government. He said policies are made by too small a group, three commisSioners, although a much wider base is represented in an informal way. Legislative and executive functions are | combined in the commission form, and at no other level of government does this occur, he stated. Third weakness cited by Clarke is that the present form lacks continuity. “Commissioner Wignall was here aith his expertise, and now heis replaced by a complete novice who must leam the work from scratch,” said. “The loss is important to the citizens,” he noted. * A. JOHN CLARKE Fourth weakness Clark listed is that the city lacks expertise in managment and administration. “We need to look at that,” he said, reading from the 1977 law which allows optional forms of governmentforcities. I am making noplea for a specific optional form of government; I am simply saying to you that Provo City has reached the point where increased demand for services are not met by this type of government.
