Board leaders elected
With a vote of 7-3-1, Jennifer Green a Yum! Brands attorney from District 7 was elected chair.
In a separate vote, Watson, who is the equity and compliance officer for the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District, was voted vice chair. She is from District 11.
Green said during the meeting that getting the inspector general hired and set up for success is a priority. This board is ineffectual without a strong (inspector general) in place, Green said.
In the coming weeks, the board also will be responsible for establishing bylaws for structure and operation, according to Hollie Hopkins, a Jefferson County attorney advising the board.

The incident, which occurred last month, was caught on bodycam footage and the disturbing video was just released by the Rochester Police Department over the weekend. Police officers approached the mother and child and explained that she had been reported for shoplifting. The mother denied the accusation and, opening her bag, offered to show officers the contents.
“Oh, come on, they said you stole, tell me what you took,” the officer said at one point. “I don’t have time for B.S. You better be quick with me.”
When the mother tried to run, he tackled and slammed her to the ground while her daughter frantically gripped her mother’s hand. Another officer forcibly removed the child from her mother, who was then pepper-sprayed. An officer asked someone to pull their car into position to block the public because it “doesn’t look good that I have to restrain, like, a 3-year-old.”
