 Because the City Commissioners were considered County officers, they were still regulated by state laws concerning County Commissioners.The City Commissioners should not be confused with the City Council, as these are two separate entities.Even though the governments of both the City and County were effectively consolidated by the Act of Consolidation, not all offices and agencies, such as the Board of Inspectors of the County Prison (Philadelphia Prison System), Coroner, Recorder of Deeds, and Sheriff, that were controlled by the county prior to the consolidation were transferred to the city, though their oversight and regulation were now managed by the City Commissioners.
