Amanda Avalos, who could cast a potential tie-breaking vote to select Milwaukee’s next police chief, received her own tie-breaking vote Monday morning. By a 3-2 vote the divided Public Safety & Health Committee endorsed Avalos’ appointment to the Fire & Police Commission (FPC). It will now go to the full council.
UPDATE 5:49 p.m.:
Avalos confirmation is likely to be delayed because a formal background check has not been completed. City ordinance requires the check be completed by Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office before approval.
Common Council President Cavalier Johnson and Public Safety and Health Committee Chair Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic
During yesterday’s meeting of the Public Safety and Health Committee,
Amanda Avalos’ nomination to serve on the Board of the Fire and Police Commissioners was passed on a 3-2 vote. However, members of the Common Council subsequently learned that the background check initiated by the Fire and Police Commission for Ms. Avalos was not conducted by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office as outlined in chapter 314-1 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances.
As such, the appointment of Ms. Avalos will not be heard at today’s meeting of the Common Council as we wait for the proper background check to be completed.
