Every deadline set by that ordinance — approved on a 36-13 vote — has been missed, enraging supporters who believe the commission is the city’s best chance to build trust in officers and police brass and put an end to repeated allegations of misconduct.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot has yet to name seven Chicago residents to serve on an interim commission overseeing the Chicago Police Department, halting a long-delayed push to rebuild trust in the scandal-plagued agency.The Chicago City Council voted to create the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability more than a year ago after a contentious debate between Lightfoot and alderpeople who demanded the board have real authority over the Chicago Police Department.
Lightfoot did not respond to a question about why it has taken her office two months to pick the members of the interim commission, or whether she was concerned that the delay could interfere with the election — set for February 2023 — of district councils. District council members will be paid $500 per month. The president of the citywide commission would be paid $15,000 annually, with the other members earning $12,000.
The compromise approved by the Chicago City Council, known as the Empowering Communities for Public Safety ordinance, or ECPS, gives the commission the final say on policy for the Chicago Police Department — but it also gives the mayor a veto that could be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the Chicago City Council.
In addition, the commission will have the power to pass a resolution of no confidence in the superintendent and any member of the Chicago Police Board with a two-thirds vote. That could trigger City Council action.
