CITY GOVERNMENT
Arkansas municipalities are
creatures of the state. As creatures of the state cities have only powers
granted them by the Arkansas Constitution and statutes passed by Arkansas
General Assembly. This is Dillon's Rule and it states: "Municipal corporation posses and can exercise the following powers, and
no others (1) Those granted in express words (by the state legislature);
(2) Those necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to the powers
expressly granted; (3) Those essential to the accomplishment of the
declared objects and purposes of the corporations; not simply convenient,
but indispensable.
The City of Clinton has a mayor council form of government.
