Kansas City Council members failed to reach a consensus Thursday on whether to jumpstart the process to replace Police Chief Rick Smith, who will retire next year but whose current leadership continues to be fraught with controversy.

Dr. Kevin C. O'Connor, physician to the president, wrote in a memo that a polyp removed from President Joe Biden's colon was a benign, slow-growing but potentially pre-cancerous lesion that required no further action.

A memo drawn up this week would have Smith retire early in 2022

According to a memo obtained by KCUR, Smith would step down as police chief April 22, 2022 and be paid his normal salary through August. On Tuesday, Smith told media outlets and city officials he had no plans to leave the department.
