SOCIAL AND LEGAL NATURE AND FEATURES OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MUNICIPAL EXECUTIVE POWER AT THE LEVEL OF URBAN AND RURAL SETTLEMENTS

The special features of the socio-legal structure of the municipal executive power and the main principle of its function on the urban and rural settlement's level are noted according to the analysis of the Russian legislation in this article. The author's concept of the definition of the local administration is offered in this article: 1) The legal nature of the local administration of the municipal formation comes from the essence of the local self-government as the form of public authority representing the interests of the People living in the territory of the municipal entity. 2) The legislative provision seems to be impeccable due to the fact that the head of the local administration leads on the principles of the single handed person. Since this approach contradicts the historical traditions of the local government development in Russia, reduces the level of responsibility of municipal employees and creates additional restriction for the local community participation on solving local issues.
