The 15-member Crime Prevention Commission was mayor-only appointed. The mayor’s campaign manager chaired the commission with the mayor’s assistant, also a campaign team member, serving as a liaison. Now the mayor wants a mayor-only appointed 7-member board, drawn from the cast of the original 15, which will work with the Office of Crime Prevention director, no doubt a director the mayor directly or indirectly will select. The director’s salary will be $63,208.00, the office’s budget around $1-2 million.
