## Resource

The city is poised to overhaul the public safety commissioner role, shifting it from an at-will position directly accountable to the mayor to a protected civil service job — a move that could lock in job security even for future mayors. Council members were blindsided by an internal job posting for the role, sparking questions about the change’s motives, while Mayor Nichols backs the shift as beneficial for residents. Also on the table: a potential salary bump, with current pay capped at $1.6 million — up from the $1.7 million budgeted in 2024.
