Auto-generated summary
The Committee on Public Safety in Chicago has proposed a referendum to expand the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability from a 7-member appointed body to an 11-member body, with elected and appointed Commissioners. This will be voted on in the November 5, 2024 general election. The ordinance also amends the Municipal Code to define terms related to public safety and accountability. The Commission will have an Executive Director and staff, with the power to create budgets, negotiate contracts, oversee District Councils, review policies, and appoint or remove key positions. Candidates for Commissioner must meet residency and experience requirements, and are elected every four years in nonpartisan elections. The Commission is also tasked with recommending ways to increase efficiency in public safety resource usage and ensuring appropriate resource allocation.
