Amendment of Municipal Code Chapter 2-56 regarding qualifications and appointment of Inspector General and Public Safety Deputy

Auto-generated summary

Chicago City Council's ordinance amends the Municipal Code, outlining the Inspector General's reappointment process. The Mayor can reappoint an incumbent with City Council approval, bypassing a Selection Committee. If formed, the Committee identifies candidates, engages a Search Firm, and reports to the City Council Committee on Ethics and Government Oversight. In case of a vacancy, the General Counsel becomes Interim Inspector General. The ordinance also covers the appointment process for the Public Safety Deputy within the Office of Inspector General.
