The CPO appointee, Pamela Nichols, will go through a city council subcommittee process and full council vote on November 1. On October 25th. the city council voted to combine the role of Senior Advisor for External Affairs into the role of Citizen Participation Officer. Along with the combination of responsibilities, came an pay increase from a maximum of $86,500 to $95,000.
The CPO role has been vacant since Keziah Franca, who was hired by Sisitsky out of the school department, decided to go back to the school department.
Well Chuck I hope you improve on your choices, the chiefs you have (COO, CFO) currently aren’t worth the paper printed on their card. 3 more years of these two is going to be hell. Ole Mikey was not much of a Build Commissioner. Whoever talked you into his hire should be banned from City Hall. The CFO is another great hire , please ! in speaking to my friends from Wayland they laughed at her hire in Framingham they wished us good luck with a snicker. Never saw a Purchase order she liked or approved first hand. Oh I take that back Exec Bathroom 3rd floor, off limits to taxpayers that went thru like the speed of light. How many budgets were contributors to this? How about doing a FOIA on this FU. When the CC chairman has to go you know he has the combo. What a city we have, can keep employees, won’t pay the ones we have. Not a good look! Winter is coming, the fun ahead should be interesting.
