The term “municipal employee” has long been absent from the scientific literature and legislation of the Russian Federation. Local governments exercise power at the local level, and a special service , the municipal one, is involved in the realization of power.
What is a municipal service?
In the literal translation from Latin, the term “municipal” means “Italian in the Roman state”. This means that the free population of the Roman state received a limited or full right to self-government and the right to Roman citizenship.
Today, the term “municipal service” should be understood as the professional activity of people who hold public office and ensure the implementation of local government.
Municipal service performs a number of functions at the level of municipal government. An important function belongs to the financial sector: development of budget projects, timely provision of its funds, report on the implementation of the developed project. An equally important role is given to the organization of socio-economic programs, including the development of health care and education.

Types of municipalities, in accordance with applicable law, it is customary to divide into 3 categories:
- urban settlement;
- rural settlement;
- municipal district;
In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, it is possible to distinguish not only types, but also types of municipalities, which are divided into two levels.
The municipalities of the first level include urban and rural settlements. The second level includes urban districts, municipal districts, including those located on the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation and at the same time having a low population density.
Each education has its own charter, which spells out the main provisions, such as:
- border and territory composition;
- term of office of deputies;
- the rights of officials;
- guarantees of officials;

Municipal service is considered an important branch of local government. Without effective self-government, it is impossible to ensure the normal functioning of a democratic state. Thus, we can conclude that the municipal service and its employees form an improved management system, promote the manifestation of civic initiatives, help the authorities to hear the people, create the foundation for the economic independence of future generations, and develop new directions for social development.
