No commissioner asked for Noriega’s thoughts publicly.
City of Miami Chief Acevedo did not officially apply for the job he now holds. Noriega, with support from Mayor Francis Suarez, hired Acevedo around the informal process and over 50 applicants and eight finalists.
Five of the finalists were internal candidates. Community members participated in an informal vetting and interview process but the Acevedo hire came after that process was complete. The job was also posted for between $195,000 and $230,000. Acevedo started with $315,000, increasing every year with a positive review.
Former Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina made around $230,000 when he left. NBC 6 requested a comment from the chief through the department but has not yet heard back. Earlier, Acevedo said he wasn’t going to comment on the proposal but instead focus on his new job.
