Leon W. Todd, III to serve as the commission’s executive director. The full council will vote on Todd’s appointment on December 15th. The city’s legislative body effectively ousted the last executive director, Griselda Aldrete, after less than a year on the job. Todd, a public defender with the state, would be the fourth director in three years. His predecessors either resigned at the mayor’s request, moved out of state or were dumped by the Common Council. Nearly half of the commission’s full-time positions are vacant and the six appointed part-time commissioners are deadlocked on selecting a new police chief after demoting the prior chief. The commission is responsible for all hiring, firing, discipline and policies for the police and fire departments.
