The findings suggest that the current literature needs revision.

Cet travail de recherche presente les conclusions d'un sondage sur l'organization des conseils municipal et les comités des conseils des municipalites ontariennes. Les resultats de recherche suggerent que la documentation courant a besoin de revision. Les municipalites ont et continuent toujours a experimenter avec differentes formes d'organisms; don't le comite permanent avec le directeur municipal travaillant comme gestionnaire superieur est le plus souvent utiliser a present.
