Grimes, the city attorney, said one of Mayor Castor’s changes would be to have a recently hired attorney for the city work as the new CRB attorney.
Councilman Luis Viera proposed that the city hire an independent attorney to work approximately 10 hours a month as the CRB attorney, calling it a “common sense approach.” However, his proposal lost on a 5-2 vote.
The board did vote to give themselves the power to select the majority of the members of the CRB (Seven – one for each member of the council) and to give the mayor the power to appoint four members. However, after the vote, Grimes said that change could only come from Mayor Castor (during the meeting activists mentioned how city councils or county commissions in other Florida communities that have citizen review boards choose the majority of their members).
