A city is normally run by a local government with some elected combination of councilors, mayors, and executives. They appoint into various positions around the city people who run the city from gardeners to head’s of the sports department.

When a military takes control of a city they have essentially taken on the job of being the elected and non-elected components of the city. They may decided that tree watering won’t happen under their watch. They may dissolve the local police force…. or absorb it into their own structure.
