Church Government (a collective body)

The church I attend was left with a generous gift of around 260,000 dollars recently. The way it was received and distributed was decided by the 5 elders and done so very wisely. Made me think of the many apostolic churches and how the one man being the pastor would have had 95-100% of say so as to how this would have been handled. I would think the majority would have done it without any personal gain but what a temptation to put into a single authority.
