You need some kind of judicial system, but it doesn't necessarily need
to be separate (it is, however, the branch that is most desirable to
have separate, but it depends on the details as to whether or not its
worth it). I'm not sure the distinction between executive and
legislative is entirely accurate anyway. The way I see it, the board
both legislates on and executes matters than require expert knowledge
and the council both legislates on executes matters that don't. The
analogy to the US government system isn't a very good one.
